What impressed you positively?
The campus was beautiful with great facilities, and the interview was more personal than other schools I had been to. Also, the amount of residency opportunities in Chicago is almost enough to make me want to choose CCOM over any other school.

The campus isn't as close to downtown Chicago as I would like (although I knew this ahead of time) and I wish my interview had been longer (it was only about 20min. long).
