What are your general comments?
The interview process was very low stress and you interview with three seperate faculty members one at a time. The interviews were more conversation like than anything else. The school is amazing, I have visited other schools and those do not even compare. I do not like city life so VCOMs location was perfect because Blacksburg is a very small town. I can not wait to get there in August.
