What are your general comments?

Great staff. We had a provided Quiznos lunch with the D1s who spoke volumes about the school. They gave up their Saturday afternoon to be there and were genuinely interested in the applicants.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Better communications based on location of the event. This is understandable based on the staff wishing to show off their new building; however, an email was sent to me within 18 hours changing the location.
