What are your general comments?

"I toured/interviewed w/ (2) other people..Tour guide was led by (3) 1st year students...NOT 1 time did I hear them bash the other schools, but I did ask them to tell me OCPM comparisons to the other schools that they interviewed....Personally, I think the school is great and I will accept my invitation there for Class of 2013.. In order, we had our tour, individual interview, Q&A session, lunch (& mini-interview) Dr. Spencer, & the Dean of Academic Affairs/VP Dr. Heatherington.....After lunch, we were brought back to a room then went to a final 1 on 1 session.. Everyone I came across had PLENTY of patience to answer my 100+ questions..I really WANTED to hate this school, but instead I fell in love with it along with the faculty/students, and area! You won't be disappointed! -Good Luck!!" Report Response
