What impressed you positively?

It's a great environment. The students are really friendly, the staff is warm, and the facilities are great. The courseload is rigorous but manageable. You would definitely be focused on this campus.

What impressed you negatively?

The campus is secluded from the suburb and definitely from the city! It's about an hour away from downtown. Geese and their poop are everywhere!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was a fun and relaxing day. You meet at 8, and the group of about 12 students is divided into two groups. One group interviews first, the other has the financial aid presentation and tour, and then the groups switch. Lunch with the first years/tour guides follows in the cafeteria. You do some waiting with the other interviewees, so that can be fun.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
