What impressed you positively?

The campus is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!! The building is new, The school sounds like it's going to be great and they'll be doing research with VA Tech (one of the top 50 research schools in the nation). The staff was very friendly and made us feel pretty confortable about everything.

What impressed you negatively?

Blacksburg didn't impress me. It's a city built around a college. Only good thing about a town like that: cheap housing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I think I was too stressed out about this interview. They were pretty relaxed about the whole process. I wouldn't have stressed out so much had I known how relaxed it was going to be.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I'm really impressed with the school. I promises a lot. The only bad thing about this entering class is that it's going to be the first one, sort of guinea pigs. But, there is a plus side, better interaction with the faculty members, etc. We were all able to talk to the dean for a couple of minutes in a very friendly environment. I am really hoping to get accepted.
