What impressed you positively?
The warmth and welcoming atmosphere of the entire office. The interviewer was very personable and was not intimidating at all. I truly enjoyed myself and it was a good experience.
What impressed you negatively?
The tour guide seemed really nonchalant as if she did not want to even give the tour. She was dressed in a hoodie and sweatpants like she just got out of bed....bad impression.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The location of the health sciences campus in relation to main campus. It's about 2 miles North of main campus.
What are your general comments?
The tour started with about 6 of us, then they split the group into two groups of 3 each with a separate interviewer. It was a group interview and she gave us each equal time to answer questions. It was not nearly as cutthroat as other group interviews and was very relaxed. It was an informal interview and the questions were based very largely around the answers we supplied. You really felt like there was no wrong answer and the interviewer was extremely animated which was very refreshing. Such a good experience, I just wish their facilities matched the enthusiasm of the staff. I love the location though, PLENTY of diversity!
