What impressed you positively?

"I really liked how many opportunities there were for hands-on experience, and the students were really welcoming. I liked how honest everyone was about the difficulties that students experience, too - financing, etc. Everyone, including the interviewers, really wanted to have an open dialog about Iowa's program, and the focus was just as much on whether Iowa is a good fit for the candidates as whether the candidates would be a good fit for Iowa. Also, the students seem really supportive of each other, instead of competing with each other like students at some other schools do." Report Response
