What impressed you positively?

Inside facilities, iTunes U, friendliness of faculty

What impressed you negatively?

Exterior of the building... really bad. But its the inside that counts

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have a good amount of time to ask questions at the end of the interview. I was told before that they usually have to end the interview to save time and people usually aren't able to ask questions.

What are your general comments?

School is definitely on the up and up. Renovate the exterior and they will be in business. The faculty and staff all care and they want the school to progress which is nice !

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

divide the groups for interviews equally, like 4 groups of 4, instead of 1 with 5 one with 3, a few with 4. Makes the day uneven when we have to wait for the other groups to finish. Otherwise, excellent day.
