What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly. The students seemed genuinely happy to be there. The dean was very enthusiastic and the admissions staff was incredibly nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The sprawliness of Atlanta but i knew this before coming here.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

When they say bring confortable shoes they're serious. The campus is HUGE and you get a comprehensive tour. Ladies bring flats or sneakers! Seriously no one will look at you funny.

What are your general comments?

The student tour guids (you spend like 2 hours with them on your long tour) are also one of the panel members on the group interview. Maybe made it harder to ask questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
