What impressed you positively?

Students seemed really happy, everyone was really nice

The class size seems really big.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had to wait for almost three hours before my interview, which certainly didn't help my nervousness.

What are your general comments?

I was pleasantly surprised by PCOM (P-C-O-M, not P-COM as the dean emphasized). I was especially struck by how nice everyone was (maybe I visited on a ''good'' day). I certainly enjoyed my visit. The interview day was rather short, ending before 1 p.m.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
