Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The weather was better than I expected. Cleveland has a lot of vegetation, trees, etc. The campus and facilities were both more beautiful and more charming (even if old) than I expected. The small groups seemed productive and cooperative.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

8 am class. Exams only at the end of some very long blocks (14 weeks).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That students feel it's not very safe late at night. That the cab ride from the airport would be $40.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Two interviews, one faculty (open file, 60 min) and one student (closed file, 45 min). Both very conversational and laid-back. The interview group was very large so, even though we were split in half for the tour, I didn't hear a word that our tour guide said, so even though the facilities were attractive, I didn't really get a good impression of what they were all about.
