The scenery. Not much to look at, some cacti, but in general, very brown.

What are your general comments?

It was a relaxed environment. The faculty and students were very friendly and the dean is very proud of the school. They were very well organized. There was an informative Powerpoint presentation on the 4-yr curriculum, but other than that, no long presentations. Everything was right on schedule. Even the tour was very well done. The interview portion was 30 minutes long with 2 interviewers. It was a little friendlier than an interrogation, but they do ask a lot of questions. I think they asked 12-14 questions in that time, but they do leave enough time for you to ask them questions about anything, about them, the school, or just living in Albuquerque.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
