What impressed you positively?
The facilities were nice, not run down like some of the other schools. Also the staff was very friendly and there is a free campus shuttle. I also liked the multidisciplinary aspect.
What impressed you negatively?
The dress code and attendance policy, although my tour guides assured me that these were not enforced. And I also noticed that there are almost twice as many classes in the curriculum as another school I am looking at. But the credit hours are about the same, so it should be doable.

Some of the questions were very different from any other interview I have had.

Overall a great school that I could definitley see myself at for the next four years.
