What impressed you positively?

Everything about the visit was very professional. Students were extremely outgoing and friendly and the hospital facilities were spotless.

What impressed you negatively?

There was far too much downtime. It was completely unnecessary to begin the day so early and there were large chunks of time to kill.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was going to need an umbrella.

What are your general comments?

The experience was overall very positive. The curriculum at Rochester is one of a kind and is a point that faculty, administrators and students alike are proud of. The hospital facilities are new, clean and very attractive. Be prepared for a long day, however, since the day wasn't planned efficiently and there was a lot of downtime.
