How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, wrote down answers, practiced answering the questions.

What impressed you positively?

They were high tech. There were many centers with computers for students to study at. THe school is new looking. THe administration office was very nice and the dean was very welcoming.

What impressed you negatively?

No books in the library. There were no students to greet me, to answer any questions I may have. The school is ONE building and you live there, eat there, study in ONE building for 3 years. THe area was very depressing. The people in the town were unfriendly and did not even know where the school was. THe interviewer made it more stressful for me, I admit I was anxious, but she never even cracked one smile, plus she stared at me the whole time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to follow directions on GPS. Just look it up and allow ample time to travel. I left Boston with a friend at 11 and it took twice the time to travel to get there so make sure you leave in advance. The locals didn't even know where the school was, when it was 3 blocks away.

What are your general comments?

The setting of the school is very different. The school is situated in a very concentrated area of town, and then 3 blocks later, it seems like a setting in a horror movie, like a puritan town of some sort.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Very friendly office staff and very welcoming Dean
