What impressed you positively?
It's a decent school and the students seemed to be nice. Their application process is relatively transparent, although it's lengthy.
What impressed you negatively?
It's in the middle of nowhere and it's cold. It's hard to get to and it feels lonely. The classrooms weren't too impressive.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
To read my primary application thoroughly and to expect the unexpected (the weird questions that people reported being asked in the interview feedback page did come out several times so you might want to give those some thought).
What are your general comments?
It's a decent school and I wouldn't mind going but if I had a choice, the distance and the weather would make it a much more unattractive prospect.
