The Gondola/Tram was super cool! Just like Disneyland!

What are your general comments?

Had a very pleasant day! It was a little breezy/cold even though it was already April, which was a bit of a turnoff... Check-in by 8am. Continental breakfast, intro/welcome by dean. Couple of interviews, lunch, panel by current students, tour by current student. Couple more interviews. Done for the day! Should be done by 4pm at the latest, some people finished earlier.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Snail mail? Really? Get with the program ya'll...especially from Oregon! You love trees! Stop ki
