What impressed you positively?

EVERYTHING...no seriously...everything

What impressed you negatively?

My first interviewer was a bit abrasive, which was a shock after I'd heard that interviews were pretty laid back here. But he seemed impressed by my answers, so we'll see...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That half of the elevators would be undergoing maintenance that day...so many STAIRS :(

What are your general comments?

I came here sort of borderline about going here. After my interview, I know I'd be heartbroken to not be accepted here. Sure the facilities are new, research opportunities are ample, and the professors are competent but what I really fell in love with were the students and the atmosphere. I just felt at home.
