Everything! Great relationships between faculty and students. How they try to diversify their class composition. That we were taken to our interviews.
What impressed you negatively?
The location is a bit isolated, but that didn't really affect my view on the school too much, as students can easily travel to Harrisburg or other cities.
What are your general comments?
I liked this school a LOT better than I thought I would - I totally underestimated them. The atmosphere was so comfortable, and faculty make a great effort to build relationships with their students. Everyone was so nice - while we were waiting to be interviewed students AND faculty stopped by to wish us luck and answer questions.
