How all the facilities were connected, this could be beneficial during snowy weathers.

I was going to be interviewed by a very arrogant, mean physician who got his license revoked in 1994.

What are your general comments?

It was difficult to get a feel of Albany and figure out what was really unique about this institution.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Greet students when they come in instead of leaving them in the waiting area. Let students know if they will have 1 or 2 interviews.
