What impressed you positively?

The student ambassadors were friendly and many of them gave up valuable study time to spent the day answering questions, giving tours, and providing support and encouragement.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Didn't get a strong sense of academic research and intellectual curiosity. When the students were asked what they did for fun, they all looked at each other and laughed nervously.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Interview was with a faculty member and Oregon pharmacist, but it was conversational and fun. We even laughed and smiled :-D. If you're out of state, take the TriMET. It picks up passengers at PDX and takes you directly to the school and only costs $2.50. Seriously, this will save you tons of money! Try to stay near a TriMET line too, the Townplace Suites was within walking distance to the Orenco Station and they even shuttled us to the interview in their hotel van the next morning.
