What impressed you positively?

I loved the location...so pretty. The school is really new and the facilities are beautiful. The people there were all friendly, and the interviewer had patience with my bout of nerves and walked me through it. Good lunch.

What impressed you negatively?

No one in the community new about the school. It gave off this vibe like it was too new or too young. Bradenton traffic is terrible.

What are your general comments?

The interview was nice, one interviewer was late which worked for me because I was really nervous in the beginning. By the time I calmed down the other interviewer came, and I think the first one was nice and didn't tell him how nervous I was. From their comments and questions about my application, they were VERY familiar with it and my LORs. Cool!
