What are your general comments?
The school is very open about not being accredited and is very willing to help with finances since Rocky Vista isn't eligible for government loans yet. The first graduating class is 2012. They should get it by then.

How will you decide on which school to attend?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN & Rocky Vista web site
What was the most difficult question?
Tell us a little about yourself. (Very open ended!)
What impressed you positively?
The environment was very stress-free and various students stopped by to "chat". The school building itself is fairly large, but there is only one building. The facilities are brand new (and smells new). The labs and classrooms look great. They boasted a lot about the simulators, which is a good thing. The location is rather rural, but close enough to Denver to enjoy the city.
What impressed you negatively?
Other than the youth of the university... nothing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Super Shuttle will get you to the hotel. Second, the Hotel Gold Crown is a very interesting place: it's located on a smaller airport of Denver and apparently doesn't get a ton of business. Don't be alarmed that there is barely anyone there. The staff at the hotel is pretty nice, though. You have the option to have them drive you to the interview and back.
