What impressed you positively?

The pyramid and civil war museum.

What impressed you negatively?

Interviewer did not let me finish answer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

High drug use in the VCU campus. There is a high attrition rate at the school. Soome students say the faculty is difficult to get to and is not available. Also found out that the class chemistry is not very supportive of each other. Decided not to attend VCU.

What are your general comments?

Interview was short. I couldn't finish my answers. The school has a very small hospital and facilites compared to other medical schools. Their gym facilites are way too small, basically they don't have a gym or swimming pool, or anywhere to exercise. I know that student life and living conditions will be big detractions. I did not like the services offered to the students (such as a nice big gym) and the hospitals were small, and I just did not like the environment of the school.
