The faculty members seems awesome.

Traveling to the school was expensive for a 20 min. interview. Also, it seems that the admissions staff are all new to the state so they didn't know that much. In fact, when I had my interview, the tour guide wasn't the one in charge of admissions, she was a sub.

Taxi fares

What are your general comments?

Everything is new, the students are really nice, and Atlanta's highway sucks.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
