What impressed you positively?

"I was very impressed that my first interviewer knew everything that was in my file. He had thoroughly read everything about me. The faculty and students are extremely nice. The faculty are extremely dedicated to teaching students. The students are willing to collaborate and help each other which makes for a non competitive atmosphere and it fosters maximal learning because of the cooperation. Also there is no curve in the grades, for example honors is not just reserved for the top 15% of the class. The campus facilities are awesome. As an out of state applicant (east coast), I was very impressed with everything I saw and will definitely be attending since I was accepted." Report Response
