sdn

What impressed you positively?

PBL (problem based learning), intergrated cirriculum. saw alot of kids from my school

What impressed you negatively?

also PBL (possibility of being stuck with a poor group/facilitator). must walk to interviews in random buildings in the medical center in the heat. interviewer were in the middle of the work day & seemed busy. Some took calls, random people walked in. all very distracting. everyone was trying to assure you that galveston is safe from natural disaster which makes you question it even more.

facilities didn't seem that great.
