How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, review of my application, rest.

What impressed you positively?

It's a realitively new facility, so it was nice and shiny (yes, that matters to me!). I found out prosections weren't as bad as I thought they were. The tuition is unbelievable low, even for out of staters.

What impressed you negatively?

I really have a problem with the dress code. I could live with it, but since I got accepted into my first choice school, I'm glad I don't have to deal with it. Also, the students weren't as friendly as the ones at my other interviews. They seemed like they "had" to be there and were just biding their time, until they could leave.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. There were no big surprises.

What are your general comments?

The orientation part is a little boring. They get a little long-winded and over-emphasize alot of points. But overall it was fine. I didn't mind the "come grab you" as your listening to the orientation, like other people have complained about. Lunch did suck though.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
