What impressed you negatively?

"The student tour was very disorganized. The students seemed a bit too laid back and talked about how little time they spent studying and in lab. Their selling point was how much less work their school is compared to others. Also, they kept saying how much better their school is than the one next door (Personally, I was more impressed with UT-Houston than Baylor)." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
