What impressed you positively?
The deans' office seems very open to the students, offering a tight-knit feeling to the school. Students stopped by to talk with the deans randomly, and everyone seemed very enthusiastic about the school.
What impressed you negatively?
I heard from several students that they are really screwed when it comes to health insurance. Students can't get prescription medicine they need and they say they're paying thousands a year for coverage. You can see some bitterness in the students with that regard.
What are your general comments?
The interviews were easy, to say the least. My open-file interviewer didn't ask me a single question about myself really. He almost seemed to assume I was in for sure. My closed-file interviewer just chatted with me about the school and health care.
