How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

4 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application and secondary application thoroughly; they expect you to know what you said.

What impressed you positively?

The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. The two interviewers that I had were very friendly and laid back. Also, the Coal Building is a state of the art facility; it's virtually brand new.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing impressed me negatively, but many people are turned off by the idea of living in a small town like Pikeville.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, very straight forward

What are your general comments?

I was very impressed with KYCOM all around. Despite some of the bad comments you may see in the forums on this website, the school is great, faculty is great, and the city of Pikeville is great. Can't wait to start.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Be more responsive to students trying to get in touch by email and phone. I have heard of many prospective students who have not received responses to questions.
