Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty were laid back and nice. I really liked my faculty interviewer. She was there to know me and was open about her experiences and herself too. I think I got to know her as much as she knew about me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The campus is rather small and the area around is not the safest place to be.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to stress too much and not to come during exam time, because the faculty and students were all busy preparing and studying for the exams.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Since this was my first interview, I got pretty nervous at first. But overall, it was a comfortable and relaxed experience. It was not that structured as I thought. Probably because it was around exam time, the dean of admission did not give us an orientation or the PIL info session afterwards. We spent a lot time sitting in the conference room and waiting for interviewers. I recommend not to come around exam time.
