What impressed you positively?

Great facilities and looks like there's more to come. Students were very enthusiastic. Finanical aid presentation was very informative.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. I had heard that Temple is in a shady part of Philly, but, as far as shady urban areas go, it was not so bad. Also, there was a lot of security.

What are your general comments?

Weird. My interviewer was pleasant, but seemed at best impartial and at worst disinterested. Twice he answered the questions he asked me, &quot;So then, I guess the reason you did xxxxx was because of xxxxx. Is this right?&quot; He was right both times, but it left little room for me to elborate. That combined with his detached manner made for an opaque and cool interview, where I felt loquacious. Wasn't sure if I should tone it down to be in stride with the tenor he set, but then I thought, &quot;whatever&quot; and decided to just be myself. I left having no good feel on how I did.
