"The grad students and faculty were all very nice and welcoming. The students seemed happy, but busy." More from this Member | Report Response

"My first interview was a very positive experience. The person was very friendly, talkative, and sociable. I never felt like I was put on the spot or being judged/analyzed. My second interview was a more negative experience. The interviewer's eyes were half-closed the majority of the interview. He was more cold and only asked me three or four questions, leaving the other twenty minutes for me to ask questions, which felt like too much time to fill. I didn't feel like I was being psychoanalyzed, but I also didn't feel like he cared about me at all." More from this Member | Report Response

"great, bad weather so some faculty were late/couldn't make it at all (had to do phone interviews on site) but that all can't really be helped...it was really laid back and relaxed, even despite the hectic-ness!" More from this Member | Report Response
