What impressed you positively?

The surrounding area is easy to get to and very nice. Its a good mix of underpriveleged and overpriveleged people. Their facilities and buildings are all really beautiful.

What impressed you negatively?

Its kind of weird that the first years have everything on one floor in a building. It feels a lot like high school in that way.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you take the subway there, walk to Madison before walking to 100th street. There is a train track that prevents you from crossing from Lex to Mad above 97th street.

What are your general comments?

The morning started off with a talk from the Dean of Admissions and it was very good because he was very honest with us and gave us a pretty informative powerpoint presentation. Then we sat in the waiting area and people got called in for interviews (the rooms are tiny). Both interviews were very laid back and the interviewers asked pretty typical questions. After that, lunch, tour of facilities which are pretty much on 2 floors of the building, and the dorm. The tour guide and others seemed to compare themselves to NYU a lot. I don't know if there is some competition between them...
