What impressed you positively?

Solid intro presentation from the dean. The students who talked to us as we were waiting for our interviews were very candid regarding the pros and cons of the school. Facilities were great.

What impressed you negatively?

High tuition! I'm sure that's why everything looks so nice.

What are your general comments?

I actually mis-posted a critique of BU that was actually supposed to be for Tufts! So here's the real scoop on my BU interview: It started bright and early at 8am, but they had plenty of food and caffeine available throughout the day. We had a few speakers come and talk to us about the programs, finaid, etc. Then all the interviewers sat around a conference room table and either waited for our interview or chatted with current students.
