What are your general comments?

Everyone was very very nice: my shuttle driver, the applicants, the med students, the interviewer. The campus tour and lunch were pretty bad. They hooked me up with an MD/PhD. He was very helpful and showed me around. This is the only way to see what the labs are like. The place is huge, though not too attractive. Overall, it was pleasant.

The students and faculty are supportive. Vandy gives you a ton of options for what you want to do there.

What impressed you negatively?

Brick is everywhere. It's on the buildings and the sidewalk. There isn't enough greenery to balance it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew they had installed a deranged mutant killer water fountain right next to my interviewer's office.
