Yes, we did attend and it was an excellent event. Very informative, and it was great to see so much enthusiasm among the current students. The crowds were very manageable. It never felt crowded at all - they did a good job of dividing up the sessions so it was never overwhelming. We only had 2 complaints about the day:

1) There was not enough time given to eat lunch in the dining hall without missing some important sessions. We ended up grabbing a quick lunch at Chick Fil A and then ate dinner in the dining hall instead. We appeared to be the only non-students eating in the dining hall at 5:30pm since most prospective students & families had left after 3pm when the open house officially ended.

2) The residence hall tours were supposed to run until 3:00. We got to the Honors residence hall at 2:30 and were told that the tours were over for the day and that the program had a “typo”. Even though there were multiple families showing up at that time expecting a tour, we all got turned away. They said they will try to fix the typo in time for the next open house, but of course that didn’t do us any good.
