SDN website, school webiste, stayed with student host

What impressed you positively?

The general happiness of the students there. They were trully happy and you could tell. The kind of activities that the students did or were going to do. One is planning a trip to Cuba. The clean, airy nature of the building. Oh, and the relative free time they had. When I was there (i stayed 2 nights), my host did not crack open a book and she had a job.

What impressed you negatively?

The cold weather. And, I'm not that big a fan of Boston

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That HMS students are chill and like to have fun. There are student interviewers.

What are your general comments?

Awesome! I had such a great time here. Everyone was so supportive and nice. The other interview candidates were all generally down-to-earth and cool. I stayed for an extra night and went into Boston Friday night with some first years--they know how to have a good time :)
