SDN, LECOM website

What impressed you positively?

Many people make Erie out to be a little podunk town out in the middle of the prarie. Totally the opposite! The school was new and clean, students and faculty were very nice, overall pretty laid back attitude.

What impressed you negatively?

Not a whole lot other than my hotel. Read below...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I'd love the school and Erie. I would have spent more time there to explore!

What are your general comments?

Got there a little before 8. Talked to some other interviewees, a professor, and a student prior to a tour. Afterwards, we were given a presentation while everyone was called out individually for interviews. Once everyone was done, ate lunch with some students and then left!
