"curriculum seems good even though it's traditional block system (not my favorite type), resources are great (mp3 audio of lectures posted online, syllabus with notes said to be good, etc.), the students seemed very positive, and student support seems great" Report Response
"We barely saw anything on the tour, not even the libary. It may have been because the tour guides were first years who didn't really know their way around too well themselves yet. Also, they tout Jeff HOPE, but according to the students you can barely participate because it is so popular with such a large student body. The lecture hall was nice, but the back was all desks filling in the space where there weren't enough built-in table seats." Report Response
"There were almost 30 people interviewing, which was a huge number! But it wasn't annoying or anything." Report Response
"My impression of the school prior to the interview was slightly negative, but I left with a very strong impression. It's now one of my top choices, which is shocking to me! I certainly didn't expect that. They give you a very detailed schedule before you go, and they stick to it. The day is fairly long (10-3:30-4ish), and your faculty interviews aren't until the afternoon (2 or 2:30). My student interviewer was nice, but I'm not sure what impression I left him with. The student interview was in an open area with tons of other people interviewing around us, but it worked out. My faculty interviewer was a really nice guy, and we had some stuff in common so that's mostly what we talked about. It was a discussion rather than an interview. The student interviewer hasn't seen your file yet, but the faculty interviewer has it. My interviewer hadn't looked at it, though, because he likes to get his first impression from talking to the person. At the end he looked at it, but just a glance. Overall it was very positive. Student and administrative presentations really characterized the school well, and I believe we received an adequate amount of information about it. Oh, and all students I asked said the large class size was usually good, with all kinds of people, but sometimes can be annoying (like with Jeff HOPE, see below)." Report Response
