expensive out of state...and they don't have a whole lot of service opportunities.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

they give you a PDA during 3rd year to use with hospitals' WiFi, and you get to keep it!!

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview, great experience. I loved the students, other applicants. Ann Arbor is great, feels like a city but it's small. technological perks are really impressive. Students are definitely happy. I had two great interviewers, one was just getting to know me, one wanted to show me that I would fit in here, and the other was reaaaalllly weird.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
