SDN and school web

What impressed you positively?

People are very friendly. Dr. McManus and Dr. Davies(sp?) were very fun and informative. Ther building is old, but their facilities did not seem very outdated. They looked fairly new to me.

What impressed you negatively?

At lunch with current students, only one student came to have lunch with fifteen of us. I had expected there would be more students coming.. Well, but we did not have a lot of questions to ask anyways -- we already knew about the school quite well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was very laid back, and conversational. My interviewer wanted me to ask him questions about the school, rahter than him asking me a lot of questions. When I asked him questions, he was very honest in his answers.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
