What impressed you positively?
The students all seemed to really enjoy their experiences there. The housing is huge and cheap. They have a free clinic on Saturdays that is run by the students, and there are lots of opportunities to study abroad and get funding from the school. The school is very supportive of the students in general, and it seemed like a happy atmosphere.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing, really.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing.
What are your general comments?
My interview experience was really great, especially considering it was my first interview. My interviewer was really nice and casual. It was very conversational, and he only asked me maybe 3 real questions. The campus is small, but it's sufficient for the students' needs. I had really low expectations for the surrounding area because lots of people on this site have such negative comments about the Bronx, but it's not as bad as they make it out to be--you just can't go there expecting Manhattan. My interviewer even gave me feedback at the end of the interview, which was nice. I hope I get accepted there!
