What impressed you negatively?

The people--it's not so much what they said, it's what they didn't say.

What are your general comments?

In the interview, it was as if they were trying very, very hard to make sure that they appeared the opposite of themselves. Although every one tries to put his best foot forward when making a first impression, this school's shoe is dolled up. When trying to hard to appear great, you can generally tell that someone is trying to hide something. At lunch, I over heard some dental students mention meeting at the nearby club (Scarlet's). In the evening, I went there for a few drinks and spoke to a lot of students. They told me that if they knew what this school was like before they came here, they would have chosen a different school, no matter the cost. Several of them kept looking over their shoulders while telling me this--as if they were afraid they would get caught. I mentioned that to them and they said that they always had to be on the look out. I also met two dentists who were residents. Those guys had gone there for dentistry and now wer going for residency there. Even they were hesitant to speak out. They told me that it wasn't just that they had to study till the wee hours. They mention how the professors treat students. They said that was worse than the studying.
