What impressed you positively?

They really want to get to know you so that's why it's closed file. They were very receptive to students and open about everything. Also, there is free parking on campus.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. For me, it's a little odd that everything is all in one building-but I can get used to that.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. It really was relatively stress-free.

What are your general comments?

The school is pretty clean. They enforce the dress code and food rule. They do have a little care package with slippers for you. It's pretty school. They are very interested in getting to know you and the day went by relatively quick. :)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None.
