How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read the entire UNECOM website, my previous 5 interviews

What impressed you positively?

The area is simply beautiful, Biddeford/Saco has a cool old-town feel, student population seemed very diverse, very nice facilities

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guide was enthusiastic, but it didn't seem like he knew a lot. He kind of ''restrained'' the tour a bit. While tour guides at a couple other schools were eager to bring us into any room they could to show us the facilities, we had to ask to go into lecture halls, etc. Interview seemed a little unorganized and the Dean of Admissions (whoever he was) did not seem very excited to be there that day (I think he had a cold)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

UNECOM is on the same campus as an udnergraduate university. I guess I knew that, but wasn't really expecting it Housing is often hard to get and keep since it is seasonal.

What are your general comments?

GREAT interview. The entire day put UNECOM easily into my top 2 schools. The students were by far the most diverse crowd of any school I've interviewed at so far and also some of the nicest yet. The interview went well. I was asked some odd and possibly difficult questions, but somehow came up with great answers. I felt as though the interviewers were forcing honesty more than the other schools. After the tour and interview the unorganization kicked in a bit again. I had the impression that we all would eat a lunch together but many people just kind of left and some of us went to the university cafeteria, which was crowded at that time, but had actually really decent food. I went out that night in Biddeford/Saco and had fun, but am a little concerned about having fun outside of school long-term (the outdoor activity scene is great, worried about commercial type stuff). Overall, the school had its pros and very few cons, but it had a great feel in general.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
