What are your general comments?

Overall, I was not that impressed with the curriculum or the facilities. My faculty interviewer was wonderful and incredibly nice. My student interviewer was a first year, couldn't really answer many of my questions, acted like she didn't want to be there and kept giving me weird facial expressions when she didn't agree with my opinions. She kept telling me how if she'd had more time she could have come up with better questions than the ones they were required to ask and that those questions were stupid.
