What impressed you positively?
Everyone at the campus including faculty and students were extremely nice. It felt like a big family. Everyone knew each other and seemed like they wanted to help each other out.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities are not the most up to date. School seemed to be in an older building.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I knew that the interview was going to be right away in the morning. It didn't make much of a difference, but I would have been a little more mentally prepared. I was the first one in the group to be interviewed so when they said ok we're doing interviews now, I was surprised that they were happening so soon since I thought they would be happening a little later in the day after shadowing etc.
What are your general comments?
Everyone at this school was so nice. I felt right at home and I was impressed by how kind everyone was and how the whole place felt like a big family. I was also pleased to learn from students that research is easy to get involved in if you make an effort.
