What impressed you positively?

The students we met were SO enthusiastic about the school, and the faculty are really into teaching. The school also works really hard to make sure the students have the resources they need.

What impressed you negatively?

The school and hospital facilities seemed to be in poor shape. The school is too small, so the hallways are packed with file cabinets. The hospitals are also old and poorly maintained.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The director of admissions is a great speaker, and explained everything very clearly and with humor. Some of the interviews were off-campus, as much as 20 minutes away by car, so that was a pain. Lunch was excellent. I enjoyed the student tour of the campus and the later tour of Children's &amp; Women's Hospital.
