What impressed you positively?
Overall enthusiasm of everyone. The environment is very supportive. The facilities are also wonderful, especially HUP and CHOP.
What impressed you negatively?
The neighborhood. Penn takes up many blocks in West Philly, but beyond that it isn't too nice. Housing on campus (even if not university-owned) would be nice.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Waking up at 5:30 AM to catch a train to Philly -- not fun. If I could do it again, I'd stay over with a student.
What are your general comments?
This was a wonderful experience. Definitely a full day. The unique curriculum was explained well. Both my faculty and student interviews were wonderful, very relaxed. The facilities are great, and more buildings are springing up all the time. And they give full merit scholarships! I guess I have to cross my fingers supertight to get that...
