school website, sdn, friends who had interviewed already

What impressed you positively?

The support system. Sub groups of students share a study room w/ the school providing all the books for the semester...very nice study area

What impressed you negatively?

gross lab was just that...pretty bare, not the top of the line labs I am used to seeing. Although there are 8 students per cadaver, it is staggered so that only 4 students at a time actually work on the body. One team per side...but I wonder what happens for organs that aren't in pairs, like the liver?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

there is a shuttle service that goes to and from the subway...could've saved me a couple of bunions, and frostbite.

What are your general comments?

good.relaxing. very friendly atmosphere
