What impressed you positively?

Birmingham is beautiful. The school has been newly remodeled and was very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The students and faculty just didn't seem all that friendly. It may have been just an off day, but some of the students seemed a little arrogant to me.The students I talked to said there was a lot of competition there too.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really.

What are your general comments?

It was a very nice day. First thing was the tour. It was led by a few students. The facilites were very nice...newly renovated. Next was lunch. We had some catered meat and veggies. Then we waited in the lobby for our interview. They were generally between 15 and 25 minutes. The interview was a little more stressful than the others I have been to just because there was one lady (bad cop, probably)that was just drilling me on my poor science DAT scores. The others were nice though. After that, we were free to go. I think we got done around 2:30-3ish. Oh yeah...you get in-state tuition after a year, which is a big plus!
