What are your general comments?

I really had a great time. It was my first interview, but I really enjoyed the facilities and the personal attention. It was obvious that the students worked very hard despite the fact that classes are P/F, and the technology, services, and attention were phenomenal. All students do well on their boards, lots of research is availabe for specialities, and I liked the PBL learning style.
