How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked with current students.

What impressed you positively?

Students were very friendly. Very quiet surroundings, very little to distract one from their studies.

What impressed you negatively?

New facility was very sterile. Plain white walls and white tile, nothing on the walls. Too clean. Can't have drinks and food outside the cafeteria. Mandatory attendance and dress code. They really don't have any great study areas, simply only the small library or the cafeteria, most students study at home. Lectures keep you in class nearly 8 to 5 every day. Board pass rate is simply the national averge: 92%.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

They use a standard interview questionare. All students are asked the same questions. The interviewers were friendly and stuck to the script, nothing out of left field. After the standard questions were asked, the topic was mostly the local area and things to do on your "off" time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
