Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the facility- a very comfortable and low-stress environment. Building designed by the same guy that designed Bill Gate's house! Faculty members seemed to be enthusiastic about teaching. Student guides are friendly and helpful (as well as other people seen in the building- everyone was friendly or at least neutral)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Few blocks around the medical complex are a little run-down but it's not too bad overall. Traffic gets pretty crazy sometimes and makes me a little uncomfortable (I'm a suburban person- lived in small towns/cities where pedestrians actually HAVE the right of way). Lack of coffee shops or bakery along the stress =-(

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To arrive earlier to take more pictures of the school's interior!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview and I'd say it went relatively well. The sitting position was a little awkard since they put me in between the two interviewers in a row where I can really only face one person at a time, but otherwise, it was a good interview.
