Everything!! I thought that DMU would be about #3 on my list. It was by far the best school I've interviewed at. It will be hard to beat. Now my #1 choice. The facilities are amazing! The staff is great! The students are friendly and you can tell they have a close class. I was blown away!!

AMAZING!!! I came into it thinking it was #3 on my list... it's now #1 by far. With only one interview left I don't know how it will drop. I will be very disappointed if I don't get in.
