What are your general comments?
Sat in a room for a few hours, had the dean come in and speak to us. Then split into 3 break out sessions with ~12 in each group. Went around the table to introduce ourselves and give a unique fact, then asked all the questions we had. Ended with financial aid and student panel for more questions. Took an optional tour.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Watched the dvd they sent me, SDN, PM'd students of the school.
What impressed you positively?
I personally love the small campus as it seems real intimate. Not intimidating at all. I also loved how the faculty is so committed to the school and how the student panel loved the school. No regrets from anyone.
What impressed you negatively?
The freakin weather! I mean come on, mid-Oct and it's in the 30's during the day time! I also heard the food on campus was nasty and from the looks of it, I think I'll eat off campus (or bring my own food)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How cold it was during Fall. I always thought it didn't get cold until Nov/Dec but it was freezing in Oct. But I'm a CA person.
