What impressed you positively?
The students - the tour guides were awesome. Also many of the facilities are new, and housing is cheap and relatively spacious.
What impressed you negatively?
I didn't really mind waiting, but when I went to my interview, the interviewer hadn't looked at my file yet. She told me to wait while she looked it over; I ended up sitting around for the better part of an hour waiting to meet with her.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
There are many buildings that are somewhat spread out, so depending on where your interview is you may have to do some walking. I wish I'd worn more comfortable shoes.
