What impressed you positively?

Site itself is beautiful

What impressed you negatively?

Everyone I encountered were so full of themselves. The level of their inflated self was just too much for me to handle in a large dose. If it was from only two individuals, I would have wrote it off, but EVERYONE was pretty snippy and uppetty. They didn't speak like human beings. This was the major and pretty much the only turn off from the school. Also, a very high strung, competetive environment. After the interview, this school fell to the bottom of my list.
