Almost everything. The students and faculty were genuinely friendly, the facilites were amazing, and everything about the day is pretty laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school. Its in downtown Birmingham and there are alot of trashy areas around it. I'm just not really a city person.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it really was going to be so low stress. Also I wish I had gone over the night before to find the parking.

What are your general comments?

The whole interview experience is really laid back and more conversational get to know you type of stuff. Everyone at the school is really friendly and I was surprised that I thourougly enjoyed the whole day. The hot undergrad students didn't hurt my opinion of the school either.
