What impressed you positively?

The faculty and students were very friendly in all regards. The lecturers were straightforward and had a sense of humor. There are a lot of opportunities for extracurricular activities.

The town is pretty dumpy, as was the weather.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be prepared to ask a lot of questions of the tour guides as they are very knowledgeable and helpful.

What are your general comments?

The faculty interview was conversational and fun. We got into a tangent talking about cooking for a bit, which made it run a little long. The student interview was likewise pleasant but a little more question based. She was an active listener. By and large the interviews were very fun and really gave me a chance to show them who I was. It only furthered my positive impression of the school.
