What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

After spending over $800 for a round-trip flight, I did a pre-interview drive through the campus the day before my interview. I was shocked at the school's location, the poor condition of the school and the poor local neighborhood. I walked inside the school, and it smelled like an old gymnasium. In turn, I actually cancelled my interview, because there was no way I was going to spend four years there. Realize that this school is run-down and in a very isolated area with a 30-45 minuted minimum commute time from home to school. I've seen dilapidation in Harlem and North Philadelphia, but this place is scary in its own, unique way.

What are your general comments?

So unimpressed that I cancelled my interview, and spent the day in San Francisco and the Redwood Forest instead.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Requiring a $2500 deposit within 2 weeks should be eliminated.
