What impressed you positively?

The facilities are amazing. All the students I met were so happy to be there. They absolutely loved the curriculum.

Maybe the cost of living in the area and of going there itself, but hey, in this case, I think you'll get what you pay for.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

1) That the panel interview is not as stressful as it seems. 2) When they said to wear comfortable shoes they meant it. 3) It's going to be a really, really long day.

What are your general comments?

It was great. I had fun. A tad too long, but I'm glad the interviews were in the morning so by noon, everyone's pretty relaxed.
