What impressed you positively?

The people were so warm and friendly! The facilities are really nice and the students seem really happy. The curriculum is diverse with many options and it seems that the school will do whatever it takes to help you succeed.

What impressed you negatively?

I had to walk a fair distance outside to my second interview, but he was so nice that it was worth it. Other than that, nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how much colder it was there than where I live so I could have brought my hat, gloves, and scarf.

What are your general comments?

I really had a great time. It is a time for you to learn about the school as much as it is for them to learn about you. They really wanted you to have a great time and I really did. The kids were cool and the professors were engaging. Overall, I really liked the school.
