What impressed you positively?

Everything is very close by and together, so its easy to build tight relationships with classmates. The environment seems very relaxed, though filled with people who kno what they are talking about.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview set up . . I got lost searching for one of my interviewers room and it turned out to be in the most obscure location. I had to ask three people to help me find my way there. Also, they had promised to find me a student to house with, but left me hanging till the very last day. The "cheapest" hotel was a mile away and had shared bathrooms.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

Not at all stressful interms of the questions they ask- pretty mcuh straight out of your application. Makes sure you know about their unique style of curriculum, since they were one of the first schools to adopt it. Also, make sure you ask to know where you are going before you head to interviewer offices. I got lost. Besides that it wasn;t to bad, but i came away with a bland feeling . . . not that amazing, but certainly not bad at all.
