What impressed you positively?

I love the mountain scenery. The faculty were all very nice and enthusiastic about the program. I enjoyed being able to talk to people in the student lounge before the interview as well... I felt this help me lose some of the nervousness. PLUS the school is starting construction on a new state of the art building!

What impressed you negatively?

No cell phone reception, old building (class is conducted in a gym)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really..the school's website tells you everything you need to know about what to expect.

What are your general comments?

We basically got there at 8:30 and reported to the student lounge where we had breakfast and talked amongst ourselves. Then we were split into two groups and starting at 9:00 group I had their student led tour followed by there one-on-one interview. Group II got to do their introduction and essay assignment. Vickie Keene also went over the student files one-by-one to make sure all requirements were in order. At 12 we all reported to the gym (classroom) where we had lunch and again talked amongst ourselves... then Group II had their student tours followed by interviews and Group I had the introduction/file review. The whole thing was over by 2:30.
