What impressed you positively?

great atmosphere & nice, down to earth people

What impressed you negatively?

the tour seemed a bit unorganized. we had to leave a few students behind. students also have to use school issued laptops - no exception. this isn't so bad for all those pc users out there but i haven't used a pc in 7yrs. and how much is it you ask... $2500! i wonder if it can be returned after 4 yrs. umm...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the traffic in DC is CrAzY in the morning. I was actually 10-15 mins late for my interview even though I left the hotel 90mins beforehand. The school was VERY understanding of the situation.
