My admissions counselor was warm and friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She was also very patient, and answered all of my questions because I had quite a few. She was very good at explaining the program, and what my expectations would be. She offered to follow up with me and even scheduled an appointment that was convenient for me. She has the perfect personality for this occupation, especially since she has her own life experience as a student and can offer a real world opinion, and knows what to focus on in helping future students know what to expect. I really appreciated her help and her willingness to go in depth about the program.
