What are your general comments?
Overall, I enjoyed my visit to NYCOM. The school is nice and the faculty are very helpful. I didn't get a chance to talk to many students because we were pretty busy and they were in class, but those that I did meet were very nice. The Admission staff are amazing..they really made me feel welcome and comfortable throughout the day. Overall, I came away with a more positive impression of NYCOM than before I went for the interview.
