Students were outgoing and friendly. The Dean of Admissions was very friendly and kind of funny. New campus is beautiful.

The old campus is, well, old.

They really do say not to expect to hear anything until March.

What are your general comments?

My interview day went really well. Most of the other interviewees were fun to talk with and interviewers seemed to take their jobs seriously. One interviewer was very casual and friendly. The other was more aggressive, but asked great questions. Students gave us a tour of both campuses, which took a while, but I appreciated it.
