Visit Activities:


Information Session: Yes - Very informative and worthwhile. I beleive the person who conducted the session was the Assistant Director of Admissions and he was great -- very engaging and entertaining.

Campus Tour: Yes - We did not think that the campus was very attractive. it felt small with lots of buildings jammed in. The architecture is not at all cohesive.
