What impressed you positively?

nice, happy people that smiled, fun tour guides and admissions people. nice free lunch.

What impressed you negatively?

loud traffic made it hard to hear the tour guides outside, the urban city locale wasn't very aesthetically appealing to the rural/suburban in me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

bring comfortable walking shoes for the tour. i got a mad blister on my heel from some stupid dress shoes and could have brought both and changed. also, go early if you have an afternoon interview so you can observe classes in session.

What are your general comments?

the interview was a nice, casual conversation. my interviewer was pleasant enough but also awkward at times.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
