How did you prepare for the interview?

I studied interview questions asked at other schools. I also did a mock interview with my mom and sister. This was my third interview so I was feeling a little more confident.

What impressed you positively?

I loved the faculty and admins they were all very nice, not as stuffy as the other schools I went to. Much more relaxed cool vibe, I felt like I was more able to be myself. I liked that it was a closed campus. The students were also very nice and down to earth.

What impressed you negatively?

The pharmacy building was still under construction. Not all the classes were set up yet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the school is NOT in a horrible area. I almost didn't go because I read so many negative comments about the location and such. It seemed perfectly fine to me.

What are your general comments?

My experience at CSU was much better than I had anticipated. I think I would come out of this school with a great education. I love the focus on diversity at this school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
