What impressed you positively?

The kind, laidback students, the new, up-to-date facilities, and the professional, responsive staff

What impressed you negatively?

The interview day wasn't very well structured (we interviewed in 3 time slots, and while our group wasn't interviewing, we just sat around, which nothing planned. Most of the interview day was waiting.) I felt like this was indicative of other things with the school as well. I think they have tremendous ideas and potential, but are still kind of getting their act together.
