What impressed you positively?

The classrooms, equipment and general facilities are very nice after you get into the buildings. All the students seemed very happy and excited to be there. It seems like the school knows how to have a good time. The dean there is new and seems to be making a big diference at the school. I got the feeling that Western would be a much better place in 10 years.

What impressed you negatively?

The location. The school looks pretty bad from the outside. Its in a neighborhood that for some reason or another has not grown much since the 60's and consequently is a little run down. Security is a constant presence when walking from building to building.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Very laid back. The interviewer asked quite a few questions and scribled down my answers as I spoke. While he didn't seem to be genuinly interested in my response, he defineately paid attention and was somewhat encouraging in his replies.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
