<p>General comments/advice/hindsight: I got a reaaaaaallly good impression of the school when I visited, and it probably was the thing that drove me to apply (I hadn’t planned on applying before but now I’m glad I did!). The course I want to study (architecture) requires that I cross-register at MIT so that is crazy cool. Still waiting on the other schools before I make a decision though. Best of luck to all others!</p>
