What impressed you positively?

The students were incredibly friendly and everybody greatly enjoyed living and studying in St. Louis/SLU. All the students seemed to be friends with each other- there was no animosity or competitive air.

What impressed you negatively?

The buildings and surroundings seemed old and drab, though the weather was pretty bad while I was there. I attended some labs and was surprised by the number of students snoozing or goofing off, though the class had just taken an exam three days prior.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was an easy, conversational interview. It was made very clear from the beginning that this was an opportunity for the interviewer to get to know me, not to trick me or make me uncomfortable.
