I wasn't impressed with the overall experience of the interview. It seemed disorganized.

How low-pressure the interview segment of the day would be. I was pretty nervous and then found the actual interview to be a breeze.

What are your general comments?

Showed up to campus not enthused about Western, but left feeling like I could see myself as a student there.
