What are your general comments?

"I was a little apprehensive about the school given its newness and its rural setting, but the school just blew me away! Everyone was super nice, including the fellow interviewees. I was impressed by the faculty & their work experience, how excited they are about the school. The area has everything you could need (but not everything you might want). However Knoxville is a big city about an hour away that's got everything (big mall, Target, Starbucks, major restaurants). The history of the area is really interesting as well, and the city of Cumberland Gap is quite a throwback to another time. Lots of hiking trails, outdoor activities in the nat'l park which is great. The interview was really relaxed, they were really friendly and were glad to answer my questions about residency, accredidation, etc. Ad long as you prepare for the questions you see listed here, you'll do OK!"
