What impressed you positively?

The students I met were very open to my questions.

What impressed you negatively?

A lot of down time. Slightly unorganized. Well into the info session the speaker realized that the reason why the room was so empty was because he started it 30 minutes earlier than the posted time. Glad I just happened to be nearby.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

It was pretty short (about 20 minutes). The interviewers were very friendly. The first half they read questions from a manual and the second half was open ended.
