What impressed you positively?

Everyone is really nice and the interview was super laid-back. I sat in on a PBL session and afterwards, the students sat and talked with me for a few minutes.

What impressed you negatively?

The weather was crappy, be prepared for rain and snow!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Huge deposit required if you want to hold your spot and there are virtually no job opportunities for significant others in the area.

What are your general comments?

I was the first to go which was great because I was done at 9am and then just enjoyed the day. We had a tour and lunch with students then had a talk with the PBL dean or assistant dean.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing. Annette is amazing!
