What impressed you positively?
Although we couldn't go in the new building, based on the plans, it will be state of the art. The interview was on a holiday and I'm sure most of the faculty and staff wanted to get home with their families, but they never rushed through information and were more than willing to answer questions. Before going to the interview, DCOM wasn't one of my top choices, but now it's one of my favorites!
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing, I expected the area to be much more middle-of-nowhere-like. Although the area isn't exactly a bustling metropolis, there was a good amount of shopping, restaurants, and a movie theater. Dry county though.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How many advantages there will be to going to DCOM!
What are your general comments?
The day began with a number of presentations from different faculty members. After about an hour, interviews began, with two panels for 7 interviewees, so two people went at a time. We had a campus tour which included the apts. that are being renovated from a building that used to be a hotel, and skipped lunch because it was a holiday. Overall, a fairly stress-free day! The interviewers definitely wanted to put us at ease and make the experience as comforatble as possible.
