What are your general comments?

UOP was not at the top of my list, and when I went to the interview I had already gotten my acceptance from USC. I figure I would check out the school anyway, so I came there without really preparing. However, I was very impressed by the school's faculty, facilities, and students. They were all very nice to me (especially my faculty interviewer). We had a great conversation, and it did not seem like an interview at all! I also liked how we had a tour (unlike USC where it was just interview, writting, and you're done). The only reason why I am not going to UOP (I got my acceptance last week) is because it did not seem to have man opportunities for research. And the location, its in the middle of nowhere. I would be bored out of my mind. Overall, UOP is a great school. If location is not important to you, I would definitely give UOP a chane.
