What impressed you positively?

The faculty were very outgoing I actually met with my interviewer before the interview and he told everyone being interviewed just to relax because it would be a laid back day.

What impressed you negatively?

The location was a little rough but inside the college was nice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would be that easy to find so I didn't have to drive around for 45 minutes.

What are your general comments?

The interview was an awesome experience the faculty were so nice and they I feel solidified my choice to attend their college. The interview was more like a conversation and that is something that really impressed me. One of the interviewers was big on research and since that was prominent in my application it was a joy to talk to him about the research I've done and the possible applications. Overall, I feel that the interview was very low stress and it helped me in my decision as to where I would be attending in the fall.
