What are your general comments?
The admissions staff is amazingly friend, especially Rel Larkin. I had the unfortunate experience of getting the flu the night before my interview, but they took really good care of me and were extremely accomodating. The students are really happy and there are good opportunities, but it wasn't the school for me.
