What impressed you positively?

Great facilities, lively students that really seem to enjoy themselves and the school's programs (e.g., interviewing/selectives in first 2 years)

Almost too laid-back... I was really surprised that some students only study the night before an exam (Yes, I maybe crazy for saying this)

My first interview... I was far more nervous than I should have been, because they are just conversational.

Both were really relaxed, personal, and fun. We talked about my interests, my experience, discussed things we had in common (interests in photography, traveling)
