Everyone was very nice, even when they had to play the part of impassive interviewers.

Out of state tuition costs. We were told we could get loans in excess of the federal ones, which makes me think there is not a good scholarship presence at the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much stuff I was going to get when checking in! I didn't have a bag so it was a bit cumbersome to carry everything around all day.
