Reading over the provided behavioral questions

Report Response | I was asked this too

Students seemed very cooperative with one another, not very competitive.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The buildings were dungeon-like. Even though they had some pretty cool equipment, it was buried in these windowless, cold, cement cells.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I couldn't count on current students to come to my aid when I was looking for someone to answer questions! They all seemed busy studying.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The first half was like a standardized test (''I am going to read you... good luck'' then it was just me responding to questions and they couldn't give feedback). My interview was early so I got some extra time-- this was great because I felt that the best part of the whole day was chatting with my interviewers and hearing what they thought of the program/location after the official interview was over. I wish everyone had that opportunity, as it made the place seem really great despite the aged facilities.
