"I was impressed right away because of the sheer generosity and kindness of the students. My flight into Columbus was delayed for about 4 hours, so I ended up getting into town at about 1 am. The student that had volunteered to host me didn't mind at all. He picked me up at the airport, answered every question I had, and was incredibly nice. The school was awesome, Columbus is a great city (contrary to my expectations), and the students and faculty seemed great. My interview experience raised my view of this school quite tremendously."
