What impressed you positively?

Facilities were great and the faculty tried to make you feel at home.

What impressed you negatively?

One of the student tour guides was kind of unprofessional in her mannerisms. Also, I think it's inappropriate to be on your blackberry while students are asking you questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking garages in the area fill up fast, so make sure you know of at least 2 where you can park.

What are your general comments?

Very good experience. I live very close to Baltimore, so I am familiar with the area and the school's reputation. I do recommend looking more at the city if you are not from around here. That way you can get a better feel if it is right for you.
