What impressed you positively?

The facilities were excellent

What impressed you negatively?

The living situation for 1st and 2nd yr. students. Students live in dorms. The dorms were very small and cramped. I would not want to revert back to dormitory-style living like when I was in college.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the living situation is very substandard.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer did not make any eye contact with me. The whole time he looked down at his sheet of facts on me, and he spent at least half of the time asking me to clarify for him the chronology of my education. It was a frustrating experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
