What impressed you positively?

I got off the plane and saw the sun for the first time in weeks, and the staff treated me as if they really wanted to sell NOVA to me. Almost too nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The students that I met seemed extremely stressed. During the tour of the building we went into the first year lecture hall and was so unimpressed with the 2 minutes of Microbiology lecture I heard.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How negative the environment was. How much the staff was going to try and sell NOVA to me as if I was the only student who had ever applied.

What are your general comments?

I wish the previous negative post had been added sooner. I may not have come or at least asked more questions from the current students. The staff made us sign a policy notice about the attendance but it seems that in the past it was only a paper rule with no teeth. I saw the scanners on the wall and our tour guide said it has caused great tension amoung the students and faculty. It seems that NOVA is a modern and cutting edge campus but until their own medical students endorse their school, I can't take the chance on a making a bad decision I will have to live with for the rest of my life.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
