What impressed you positively?

The facilities are absolutely amazing and they are constantly building more. Every person I came in contact with seems to have loved their experience and the graduation rate is amazing!

What impressed you negatively?

I would have liked to see a few more facilities during the tour, but otherwise the day was awesome.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The amount and variety of dual degree programs at the school.

What are your general comments?

The whole interview was pretty coversational and my interviewer was more concerned with me having all my questions answered than questioning me. It was a little concerning since I was not sure he learned much more about me, but I left the interview feeling he had a pretty good sense of who I was. The information sessions and tour are pretty standard as these types of things go.
