What impressed you positively?

facilities are great

What impressed you negatively?

Every interviewee had some connection to Wake or North Carolina.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To find the office of admissions: 1. Park in structure A 2. Find nearest information booth, ask dir to Whatling Hall (spelling) 3. You should be in the G part of the building, take the elevator to the 3rd flr. It took me 10min to find the office from the parking structure.

What are your general comments?

You meet the guild lady who is nice. She helps to break the ice with everyone. She seemed too happy but I cant discredit her for that. You listen to the dean of admis followed by a financial aid presentation. We had lunch with M1s but a M3 stopped by. Then the groups are divided into those that will interview next or take the tour. The tour is very spontaneous b/c they find people at the last min to do it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
