What impressed you positively?

For an old school, very modern facilities. Got to sit in on a lecture, and enjoyed the teacher. The Anatomy lab really is THAT nice. All the students i met seemed quite happy with the school. There is one hour free time during the interview day to walk around campus.

What impressed you negatively?

The location sucks. There's nothing to do around campus, which might actually be a good thing. Also, the dorms are pretty lousy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is nowhere to get anything to eat while your staying there, maybe bring a snack unless you want to order delivery.

What are your general comments?

I thought i'd be unhappy with this school based on previous comments, but i walked away very impressed. Get this, they were showing the Vagina Monologues that weekend. The students were all friendly and happy, the teachers and faculty were real helpful. I actually liked the place. It was also nice to hear that the "catholic tradition" is a very very small part of the school.
