What impressed you positively?
Pretty much everything. I really liked how friendly everyone was. I love the location and the fact that they have a decent High School on the LMU campus (yes, I have a kid that's in High School) eek! ;-)
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing. But, I could see how the location could be an issue for some. For me though, the location is great as I would rather live in a small town or rural area than a large city.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The hotel I stayed at had a really bad smell for some reason. I even noticed the smell on my interview clothes after I left the hotel. Hopefully I'm the only one that could smell it on my clothes. Anyway, the hotel was ok, but the smell would be enough for me not to recommend it.
What are your general comments?
The interview was really relaxed and stress free. Bob (the tour guide) was just great. He not only gave us a wonderful tour but was a pleasure to talk with. I had the pleasure of being able to speak with him after all of the other applicants were dropped off, and he is just a wonderfully nice and helpful person.
I am a nontrad and would much prefer to live in a small town; so I just loved the area and will go to DCOM if accepted. However, I could see the location being an issue for some students, as there really is not much around the school.
But, if you don't feel the lack of city life will bother you then I would highly recommend at least visiting the school.
On a side note--the interviews are actually only 30 minutes. Mine just ran a tad long.
