Savannah is not a place you want to live. A commute to and from will consume an hour of your study time each day unless you live in or near the hood.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
We have a rigorous curriculum here, what makes you think you can handle it?
What was the most interesting question?
None were very interesting. Only a few pulled anything substantive out of me, really.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed questions online- but no preparation was really necessary- these folks did not seem to be interested in weeding anyone out, really.
What was the most difficult question?
What is empathy to you, and this is the hard part: tell me about one time you were expected to show empathy. This was hard just because I am not aware of any times I was expected to be empathetic besides when family was dying... :(
What impressed you positively?
not much
What impressed you negatively?
Savannah is a dump (historic district aside)- very poor and broken down area. So are the people. It is sad. Realtors repeatedly told me, "Savannah is dangerous- you have to live on the islands to be safe." Those islands mean a 25-30 minute drive each way to campus. It was disconcerting that they had nothing substantive to say about their program except that it is an accelerated program. Heard almost nothing about the academic aspect of this place- why they do things the way they do, or what sort of successes they've had. It just seemed like a sales pitch, to me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
What an awful place Savannah would be to live. Everyone says it- it's a great place to visit, but not at night and it's not a place to live.
