What are your general comments?

Really liked my interviewer, though he asked me A LOT of questions. The interview was nearly 2 hours, but I hardly noticed; it was very conversational and relaxed.

What impressed you positively?

VCU's in a nicer part of Richmond. The hospital's big and facilities seems pretty good.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing negative, but the school didn't really elicit any positive feelings. Very practical, very functional, and I think I'd do well here, but that's about it. Didn't *love* it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lots of construction. Getting out of the parking lot to the highway was confusing.
