⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Do not go to this school if you like to eat or drink during lecure and are most comfortable in sweat pants or jeans or even khakis and a collared shirt. That's right, MEN MUST WEAR TIES AND DRESS PANTS AND LADIES MUST WEAR SLACKS OR SKIRT, BUT NOT TOO SHORT OR YOU"LL BE SENT HOME. This is null and void when in labs though. No food allowed anywhere except in the cafeteria. You are required to purchase a laptop computer. Most people seemed older and in career changes versus other schools where I interviewed, such as PCOM High School with all the children there. This place has good intentions if you plan on studying 24/7 and not relaxing because the city of Erie is not exactly paradise.
