What impressed you positively?

Students were very nice; everyone seemed to know each other; faculty and student relations were very friendly and casual. Everyone seemed to care about each other.

What impressed you negatively?

Given the small size of the school, resources at the school aren't great when compared to other schools. However, the dean of admissions did address it and he does plan to try to save money for the future in this area.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There were only 7 other interviewees with me.

What are your general comments?

I didn't go into it with any idea of how the school or city was going to be. However, coming out of the experience, I was definitely much more positive about the school and I wouldn't hesitate to go there if I am accepted (except that the tuition is almost 60k/year for oos applicants! yikes!)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
