What impressed you positively?

Everyone seemed to be in a very postitive mood even though 1) the school was basically in the middle of nowhere and 2) it was very early in the morning. Also, they have addressed the problems with their class-time heavy curriculum (40+ hours a week!) and a revised "integrated" curriculum will debut in the fall.

What impressed you negatively?

The "integrated" curriculum will probably have some bugs that will have to be dealt with by the fall class. The area in which the main campus is, again, located in the middle of nowhere.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Sometimes I forget how cold the weather in Ohio can be.

What are your general comments?

Both interviewers were quite nice and the interview session, itself, was very open and relaxed. They expect you to talk - a lot, which I liked, and, therefore, the interviers kept the questions to a minimum and stuck to very broad topics. Although, prior to the interview, you are told that the interview session will take 30 minutes, it seemed that, at least with the morning session, there was at least 45 minutes scheduled for the actual interview. So, say a lot and have plenty of questions handy.
