What impressed you positively?

No responses

What impressed you negatively?

I was harassed for my religious beliefs and lifestyle choices by the student interviewer. Admissions screwed up my interview date, which resulted in poor housing during my stay. Another minority student and I were harassed by security on our way to the interview and were almost arrested for being on the campus. It took the admissions director intervening on our behalf to mitigate the situation. Also, I was on my own for one meal and could not find accessible food on campus, as I was not allowed in any buildings. I ended up wandering around inner city Baltimore at night looking for dinner.
