What impressed you positively?

Everyone seemed nice that I interacted with.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is VERY rural. Driving around that area could get very difficult.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school is more than 1.5 hours from the Knoxville airport which kinda sucks. They really want you to stay in that area throughout school and into your career.

What are your general comments?

After I drove into Harrogate I found my hotel in KY. Everyone smokes everywhere, which is amoung many culture shocks there are to experience. The new school building is the largest building and one of the only large buildings in the area which makes it easy to find. The staff was nice and informative and very exited about their new school. The interviews are a bit informal and it was a bit difficult to grasp what they wanted to know from you. I think that because there have been so many applicants because there is no secondary application fee the admissions staff is being very picky at this point. Eating lunch with the admission staff was nice. The area would be a huge culture shock to move to if you are not from that area. For that reason I am not putting this school high on my list.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
