What are your general comments?
I am from a small town, thus I liked the atmoshpere at VCOM. However, I feel some of the staff are small minded, and treat situations as if they were still in high school...which is a turn off. Even though I have accepted my spot, I still am waiting for acceptance at two other institutions, and may take acceptance elsewhere due to the experiences I have endured after my acceptance.
