What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm and general great attitudes of all the students we met. Everyone was very low-stress, seemed like they genuinely enjoyed being there, and students were friendly and outgoing toward us and toward each other. The campus seemed fully functional and a lot of the hurricane damage had been repaired or was on its way.

What impressed you negatively?

It seems that they lost several faculty members after the storm and there were still some rebuilding issues on campus. I did not like the on-campus housing they showed us, some of the worst dorm-type living I've seen.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the humidity!

What are your general comments?

There were 4 interviewees and we met with 2 first-year students for a question and answer session first thing. Then members of the admissions committee came in and talked with us informally as well. The schedule was almost a little too loose, one of my interviewers was changed at the last second. Both interviewers seemed interested in personality and character traits as opposed to academic performance, so there weren't a lot of focused questions. I had a lunch interview with a second-year which was also casual, and then a tour which went on a little long but very comprehensive.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
