What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything. I went to the school not expecting much and I came back with a completely different perspective. The facilities were great, it is closer to Chicago than I thought, the students and faculty seemed like they really enjoyed being there, and the day was structured well. I just got an overall positive vibe from the whole experience. The school is right next to Lake Forest, which is awesome and has a small beach.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, other than the food at the cafeteria being less than impressive. I think cafeteria food is universally bad though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I stayed at a motel about 5 min from the school that was in the middle of nowhere. This sorta skewed my perspective on the whole area before I got an actual tour.

What are your general comments?

This was my favorite interview day of all the schools I've been to. They put you in a room with all the other interviewees and you wait until you are called individually by your interviewer. There is a lot of down time between interviews where everyone sorta just hangs out. Everything about the school is really great, except the tuition. Overall it was a good experience, not stressful at all.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Try and implement an electronic application system. It is difficult to keep up with everything via e
