What are your general comments?
It was great! Dr. Damari ran through his list of questions but it was very conversational so I didn't feel intimidated. It lasted almost an hour but it didn't feel that long at all. The student ambassadors did a great job giving the tour, and answering our questions. I also learned a bunch from the housing and financial aid sessions. All in all it was a good afternoon!
