SDN, CVM's website

What impressed you positively?

Interviewers put me at ease immediately, they were all very friendly. The student ambassadors were all extremely helpful as well. Pizza party was good and got to hear from the students about all the positives (approachable faculty, 2nd year and 4th year buddies assigned to 1st year students, etc.)

What impressed you negatively?

No public transportation...most of the students have cars...surprising for a school with a larger population.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the airport was so tiny...I missed my flight on the way home because I didn't check in soon enough!

What are your general comments?

Overall positive experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None, everyone was friendly and helpful.
