What impressed you positively?

"The close knit atmosphere of the student and faculty, and the feeling that I could really fit in. One of the faculty made a Game of Thrones reference as part of his presentation whoch appealed strongly to my inner geek. The book store had a bin of microbial plushies which appealed strongly to my microbio background and inner child. On recommendation from one of the faculty, I visited MacDowell's creek, a nearby park in the mountain foothills, and I can attest to that the local area is great for those who apprciate the outdoors. I can really see myself living and studying here." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Lunch was the Mexican which I would normally applaud, however, it was the messiest Mexican I have ever seen. There was much joking amongst the applicants that this was a test of our manual dexterity, and that if we showed up without a stained suit for our afternoon interviews we were in. Other than that there was nothing negative." Report Response

"MMI here was very low stress and not really a true MMI. Bookstore had microbial plushies for sale. I would have brought money." Report Response
