What impressed you positively?

Both student and faculty interviewer were personable and friendly and seemed eager to have a more "conversational" interview than a bunch of scattered questions

What impressed you negatively?

On my schedule, i was to have a student lunch/interview from 12-1pm. We had down-time between 11 & 12, and were encouraged to walk freely around the building. Student interviewer actually stopped in to talk to me at 11am, but i wasnt there...He was preparing to study for an upcoming exam, but lost an hour out of his time waiting for me. I felt bad, even though it was beyond my control....This probably could have been avoided....

What are your general comments?

Very good. Non-stressful. Pleasant. The day gave me an excellent idea of what school would be like at Drexel, which, i suppose, is the point of the day....
