What impressed you positively?

The facilities are brand new, the students were helpful and willing to answer any questions we had (I even got some email addresses) and they seemed very tight knit (probably because there class was realitively small). I loved the area, it was quiet enough to get some serious studying done, but close enough to ATL to enjoy city life. Also, the townhouses looked really expensive, but students told us they found affordable rent pretty close to the school.

What are your general comments?

I stayed at the Hampton Inn and they provided a shuttle to PCOM so I didn't have to stress about driving. I arrived about 10 minutes till 8am. We had breakfast (a muffin-if you are a big breakfast person like me maybe you should eat first) with the financial aid advisor and the student affairs director. Then we went on the tour (very high tech). We then waited to be interviewed. The other DO that was supposed to interview me was stuck in traffic so one of the PhD's sat in for him. She was really nice so I didn't mind. The interview was laid back (I think I made it a little more stressful because I was nervous and this was my first interview). My advice is get there early, be friendly to students and other interviewees and just be yourself.
