What are your general comments?

"I loved this school! I had my best interviewing experience yet and I felt more comfortable here than any other place that i have been. I went the night before to stay with a host student. We had dinner and got a chance to ask a studnet panel questions and then we were matched with our hosts. Mine was really nice and helpful. We went out to a local bar and hung out with some other hosts and applicants. The next day my host drove me the college for my interview. We had orientation, then half the group went a tour and the rest of us went and had our two interviews. Then we had a tour and we left. My interviews were very laid back, but complete. I really enjoyed the whole experience. " Report Response
