The gym was tiny, the tour was given by an admissions person and not a student, the students did not show up to lunch.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I would need to more actively find current students to talk to. I maybe talked to two and they were the admissions selected people.
What are your general comments?
It's a very nice campus and seems to have a very strong academic program. I really enjoyed visiting the campus and the area. It was a nice relief from winter and a very sharp contrast to another school I visited where I had to drive through a snow storm to get there.

Shorten the day a bit. There was a lot of downtime in between interviews and tours.
