What impressed you positively?

i like that they have a choice for curriculums, but i wish there was more flexibility in changing in case you didn't like one.

What impressed you negatively?

even though they say they are all good now, i think they are still having structural issues adjusting to the merger with drexel. when i went to other interviews and i mentioned that i interviewed at drexel, everyone (including interviewers) would cringe and comment that they have a bad reputation because of their financial problems in the past and reorganization.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the school itself is in a very residential area of philadelphia

What are your general comments?

there were about 15 people interviewing. the faculty interview was very fair, dr. larson was very nice and asked all the standard questions. the student interview was very laid-back also over lunch. mostly the students seemed pretty reserved, not the most lively bunch, but not totally stressed out either.
