What impressed you positively?

Beautiful facilities, the student that conducted our tour was knowledgable and friendly, the staff was also very accessesable and informative. I would love to get accepted here.

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition. If I believe all of my mentors, I should be able to handle the repayment of loans in a timely fashion though.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I did a lot of reading about the school, but it was not clear as to how great it was until I saw it for myself. I can't say enough about the staff and facilities. I would also agree with the other posters in saying that there is no need to worry about getting barrated by the interviewer at BU, it was a pleasant experience.
