What are your general comments?

At 8:30 the Dean gave his spiel about the school, Dr Horowitz has a clear vision about where he wants to take the school and is obviously excited about taking it there. I interviewed from 9-10, then sat in a class where I understood absolutely nothing, then had the financial aid talk, lunch, and tour after. Overall, it was awesome and Case has quickly become my top choice. It's a very open-minded and progressive atmosphere, and everyone seems to love it there.
