The 3 faculty members who interviewed me were very friendly. They looked through my application before I came in the room and wrote down specific questions for me based on my file. I was in love with the school by the end of the day- the facilities were high tech, the students seemed happy and enthusiastic, and the Dean's words of wisdom at the end of the day left me feeling like Nova is the school for me.
