What impressed you positively?

Everyone is extremely nice and seems to love being there

What impressed you negatively?

It almost seemed like they were all trying too hard to impress the interviewees which made me cautious. There was alot of down time and we couldnt sit in on classes because both 1st and 2nd years had exams. Didnt get to see the PBL classrooms. Also the city is not large at all. There isnt much to do there. It is pretty much a dead city if you are used to big cities. Also it snows A LOT!! I spoke to residents and students who all said it snows about 120inches a year. They said the snow usually melts by July....so it is pretty cold!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it is not as large of a city as they make it out to be. I tried to go to the downton and high falls areas where the nightlife is supposed to be...but no one was there.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was low stress.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
