What are your general comments?

Arrived at the campus, four of us were scheduled to interview only two showed up (actually another girl came at 10 go figure). We had breakfast with the finacial aid coordinator who is hilarious by the way. A second year student came to talk to us about the curriculum. The admissions coordinator then spoke with us since one of our interviewers called out sick. The other guy interviewed while I talked to some first year students. They answered all of my questions with delight. After my interview we went on a tour. The campus is very nice, state of the art. Then we sat in for an OMM lecture which was very cool by the way.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
