What impressed you positively?

Extremely friendly and enthusiastic students who all claimed to get along and be really close will all their classmates ... students not involved with tour or admissions also stopped in when they walked by the room we were waiting in to say hello ask if we had any questions, give advice, and tell us how much they love it

What impressed you negatively?

the area of the city and the campus is kinda blah and loud ... you most likely live in dorms the first year and speand money eating out or ordering in most of the time

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

wear good walking shoes ... they tell you, but they are serious ... bring a wind resistant umbrella
