What impressed you positively?

Just about everything- the facilities are not just top notch- they're impecable. The admissions staff were polite and knowledgable. Overall, the experience was great. Did I mention the Dean- awesome.

What impressed you negatively?

There was one interviewer who was very stoic throughout which was a little uncomfortable. If you have a person who behaves like this- try not to let it bother you. I later found out he was like that for everyone who interviewed with their group. Also, housing costs are crazy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I honestly didnot think I would like the school as much as I did or have such a positive experience. Also, the website does not do the school justice.

What are your general comments?

Again, overall- great experience. If I am accepted I would be very proud to attend NOVA.
