How did you prepare for the interview?

I just went over all the information Nova had sent me the past month so I was able to come up with solid questions

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were unreal. The people were all extremely friendly-very welcoming environment. Also the fact that the optometry school is part of a larger health professions division was a plus. There will be a ton of different students to interact with.

What impressed you negatively?

Humid weather, that's to be expected though. Also the cirriculum is extremely intensive-can be a good and/or bad thing.
