What impressed you positively?

All faculty seemed to really care about the students. They have a lot of programs to help students suceed. Even though the facilities are not new and greatly impressive, it doesn't seem to negatively change the students' education. The students were all very friendly including a random student I ended up talking to for awhile. I found it impressive that after the student interviews some of the students came out to talk more informally with their prospective student.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are not as updated as I would have thought.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

The day was very organized. There was a well prepared introducation to the school by the dean of admissions. A tour, and a really great lunch, and then we went to our interviews that were all over campus. Overall I had a very positive day and felt very comfortable.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
