What impressed you positively?
The school is eco-friendly. They said something about the building being made out of recyclables.
What impressed you negatively?
First, this school should've used another name besides "PACIFIC University." There is "University of the Pacific", which is more established and can be easily confused with this school. Second, I think the interview having 1 interviewee (you) and 3 interviewer (them) is very intimidating. Please read my "general comments" section for more details.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wished I had known that this school is just a building. There aren't alot of parking spaces around the building (~20). The surrounding area is dilapidated!
What are your general comments?
I liked how they gave us time to talk to current students. However, I did not like the interview itself. It was one of me and three of them. I felt like I was being interrogated. They asked me one question after the other and kept a straight face the whole time. At all of my other interviews, the interviewers were very nice and gave some sort of feedback (smile or nod). I guess it depends on who you get, but they should tell ALL of their interviewers to smile! I was accepted, but the interview process left me with a VERY negative impression. Thanks, but no thanks!!!!
