What impressed you positively?

"I really suggest staying with students. I changed my overnight arrangements after reading comments on SDN and I am very glad that I did. I met a lot of KCOM students the night before and not only did they offer a lot of advice and information about the school, but they went out of their way to say hi to me when they saw me around campus on the tour. Also, everyone is very laid back there. They are not trying to criticize you, they just want to see if you are a good fit for KCOM. Lunch with the students and the white coat fitting were also fun." Report Response
