Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The friendly atmosphere that I felt when I arrived at the school. The school is very family oriented and they create that atmosphere by treating everyone like family. The small town atmosphere helps in that aspect. The facilities are up to date and the curriculum is supplemented with a variety of traditional and nontraditional learning methods.

What are your general comments?

Overall the interview experience was very good. I was impressed with the immediate greeting when I arrived and the way the admissions people treated each student. The interviews were very conversational. My first interviewer was a fill in, because of a previous cancelation, she was very nice and easy to talk to. The second interview was an admissions counselour and he was very informative. The questions were asked in a general conversational manner. The third interview was much like the first interview. Overall I felt very comfortable at the school. The surronding town is a shock for anyone who is used to a large city, but the short commute time and low cost of living are a major bonus about the school. This school is one of my top choices.
