What impressed you positively?

The community/family atmosphere of Temple. The people were really supportive and it seems like a very supportive nurturing environment overall.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't like my interviewer asking me if I would go to Penn instead of Temple. When i tried not to answer he kept confronting me until i did. I also wish he had read my file before I got there so he could ask more directed questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really.

What are your general comments?

people talk about them not having nice facilities, but i didn't think they were bad at all. i put 7 of ten for stress just because it was my first interview.
