What was the most interesting question?

Well, one of my interviewers was rather HYPER. He started asking me crazy questions such as, ''If you saw an endangered animal eating an endangered plant, which would you save?'' and ''define the universe and give 3 examples.'' After a nervous laugh, he was like no i'm just kidding.

What was the most difficult question?

I was only asked 3 questions: what area are you interested in, what are your hobbies, and what's your biggest weakness.

What impressed you positively?

The school campus is absolutely awesome. Very high tech. Its just an old ware house turned completely around. Its one story, but very big. The labs have 6 plasma flat screens hanging from the ceiling along with floor to ceiling projectors... the professors can therefore work at their table and have the camera on what they're doing so you can see it from your seat. The rest of the school is completely wireless, they have the new STAN system working, and the school is just very modern looking and colorful inside.

What impressed you negatively?

The lack of knowledge about financial aid.. the financial aid lady was very vague and really offered no information without the interviwees having to ask. Other than that, i really loved the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I had a great experience... I loved the school much more than I even thought possible. I can't imagine liking any other school better... now I just have to figure out how to fund it!!
