Friendliness and knowledge of staff. Diversity of students (I don't just mean ethnicity). Interesting electives.
What impressed you negatively?
"Dorms"
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How un-stressful it all was!
What are your general comments?
This seems to be a great place to learn. It's very intensive, so only those willing to throw themselves into the work should apply.
(By the way, the two last negative comments were obviously written by the same person. Both comments used the same phrases and the same bad grammar. Anyone who thinks the campus is in a "bad part of town" and who thinks it's unsafe has obviously NEVER lived in a city. At all. And there's plenty of parking...students park in a garage.)
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
None...everyone was great!
