What impressed you positively?

All the faculty and students are really there to help each other and us there for the interview. Everyone was happy to see you there, learn about you and answer any questions you had.

What impressed you negatively?

The town of Forest Grove itself. It is quite small and run-down.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

The interview and the whole day was very informative but a little long. Everyone was laid back and made the interviewers relaxed. All of my questions were answered by the time I had my interview (in the afternoon). There was a question and answer period with just some students so you could ask whatever you wanted and were not being evaluated by any teachers or admission committee members.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
