What impressed you positively?

It's great the San Antonio is digitally converted and is an excellent school, but I tried to look at the little things. I made sure I observed the students there and see how they acted towards each other and if they seemed stressed. They loved it and were laid back. Both a plus in my book. Don't want to go to a place where I'm stressing out all the time.

What impressed you negatively?

The layout of the school was a little confusing. Even the students and some of the faculty made comments that it can be a little confusing but not a big deal. Once you know the ins and outs it will be pretty easy to navigate around the school

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They really try to make you feel welcome. Dr. Cappelli had some really awesome advice. He said to use this interview as an opportunity for you to also &quot;interview&quot; the school to see if you could see yourself going to school there. (Hence carefully observing current students as previously noted)

What are your general comments?

Try to relax and enjoy the experience. If everyone at the school is as friendly and helpful as the people in Student Affairs then you know that you're well taken care of and they really want to see you succeed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
