What was the most difficult question?

What impressed you positively?

school has money, willing to spend it on students. whole atmosphere seems very teaching and student centered. plus, you get lots of patient contact. students seem to have a good perspective, aren't just blindly focused on studying, probably due to the location of the school they seem to be happier and more satisifed than any other students i've met. the whole class, being that they all live together, seem pretty close; everyone knows everyone.

What impressed you negatively?

old dorms-single rooms with a sink, you share crappy bathrooms and kitchen with the rest of the floor. construction going on outside them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

you actually never need to leave the complex, as in step outside, as a med student...everything is connected--dorms to library/lecturehalls/labs + 1hospital. also, even though the class size is large (160ish) this gets broken down to smaller groups a lot.
