What impressed you positively?

Their willingness to admit why they have problems with accreditation and how they view the problem. Also a well planned financial aid presentation.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer was sloppy and dirty looking. He only asked three questions. I didn't mind the questions, it just seemed like he was going through the motions and didn't really care about getting to know me as an applicant. So I asked him more questions than he asked me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Which Hotels were better places to stay than the one I stayed in. The admissions office should at least have a list of good, reasonably priced hotels and which airport to use. Since other schools offer this type of assistance, Howard should as well.

What are your general comments?

Pleasant and informative.
