Visit Activities:


Information Session: Yes - Great presentation - really left you with a strong impression of what the admissions evaluation was going to be focused on.

Campus Tour: Yes - The student who gave the tour was informative, intelligent and had most of the answers. Most of these college tours give you a lot of baloney and promises - this one focused on the school's asset

Overnight Visit: No - Forget these other hotels. Spring for the bucks and stay at the Edgewater. Alumni get a discount as well.
