What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"The holding tank didn't have very good air flow. The little booklet of DFW attractions was a bit unnecessary -- I could learn the same or more just googling. Also, most people didn't have anywhere to put it, since the admissions office did not provide a folder of some sort. I fail to understand why we were not put in a conference room, as we were at the other two Texas schools. No power points, no table/surface to write notes on during the speeches from Dr. Miller and the financial aid lady." Report Response
