What impressed you positively?
People were genuinely friendly, it felt like they were actually happy we were there instead of being a burden. The campus is in a beautiful part of Boston and most of the students live right next to the school. You need an ID to enter the school so it's very safe/chill. I asked the students if they felt comfortable leaving all their stuff for a second and they all said they do it all the time. The clinic isn't huge, but it's very nice and the lab for the students is brand-spanking new. It seems like a very tight-knit community and all the money/resources they have go towards you and not other programs.
What impressed you negatively?
Haha it wasn't longer.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I didn't feel like that. I asked plenty of questions and talked to most everyone there. I feel like I made the most out of it
