Not much really, I think the cold eventuall will but when I was there it was pleasantly mild!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish my car wouldn't have broken down while driving there! Other than that, everything was pretty much expected. No moral/ethical questions really.

What are your general comments?

Pretty informative and everyone was super nice! The director of admissions was really funny and my interviewer was very sweet. Lunch was amazing and overall the interview was very laidback, they really wanted to get to know you and not stress you out. Interviews are suppose to be 30 minutes but lasted longer.
