What impressed you negatively?

Sitting around in the conference room waiting for my interviewer

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

All the down time between faculty and student interviews, and I was surprised at how small the campus was.

What are your general comments?

There are two interviews- a one-on-one with a student over lunch (closed-file) and a one-on-one with a faculty member (open-file). I had an enjoyable interview day with both interviewers. I was very impressed with how laid back the interviews were. Both of my interviews lasted an hour or more. I stayed at the Germantown B&B and I highly recommend it. The owners are very nice and helpful, the only downside is that part of town seemed a bit sketchy. I walked from the B&B to campus and it was a very enjoyable walk, plus I saved a few $.
