What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More about the school's history and mindset.

What are your general comments?

The interviewer read questions right off a script...I much prefer the conversational interviews I had elsewhere. The interviewer also interrupted me twice with phone calls. Not very professional. Although SLU seems to have a good program and the students seem content, the location and high price of attendance were turn offs IMO.
