Clean buildings since everything is new! Nice weather. Close to Boston! The dorms are so nice. Admissions is friendly.
What impressed you negatively?
There's no 'campus'. It's an office building with the classes. Worcester is a small town. Tuition is $40k a year. Small library.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I would be asked many questions about my bad grades.
What are your general comments?
Writing section for 30 minutes. Tour. Interview with a faculty member. I spent a ridiculous amount of money for travel and board.. if you are OOS I would recommend only coming to this interview if you have a real desire to attend and completely accept the idea of paying $40k a year for tuition (for this school).
