What are your general comments?
I liked the school, but was not impressed by the facilities. The interview style was a little ''good cop, bad cop'' and I didn't feel a great connection with the interviewers. They were nice and not mean or anything, I just didn't get a good overall feeling for it. West Lafayette has some great places to go out to eat!
