What impressed you positively?

the true sense of family on campus. I was really impressed by the fact that 40% of the class comes married and it becomes over 70% by the time you graduate. There are an average of 55 babies born to your class in their 4 years there. Also, the university has an open door policy; I ended up meeting with every member of the admissions committee.

What impressed you negatively?

I will have to wait 9 weeks to find out if I was accepted.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing... this is an awesome school and definitely my first choice.

What are your general comments?

It was very relaxed and we just had a conversation.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
