"The campus is new, with room to grow. The student housing is nice and there are privately apartments across the street. Most impressive was the friendly demeanor of the staff, faculty, and students.

"The extent of the faculty open-door policy. Many schools claim this policy, but AZCOM seams very sincere about it, i.e. it doesn’t appear to be hype." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The interview went well. I was a little nervous, but more anxious than nervous. There’s a subtle difference. The interviewers were all nice, relaxed, and asked appropriate questions. I have a non-traditional back ground; hence many questions probed elements of my experience. I didn’t get any “if you were a tree what would you be” type questions. I absolutely felt they were trying to get to know me. " Report Response
