What impressed you positively?

the students, faculty, administration were all super nice and very helpful. All the students that saw you out on the campus smiled and said hi. The curriculum. PBL.

What impressed you negatively?

longer walks and lots of closed entrances due to construction, but seeing as it's for a BSIV research facility, I think I could deal with it

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the curriculum isn't just "learn on your own" as a lot of 1st and 2nd years at other schools told me. There's lots of small group discussions and PBL groups which make sure you don't fall behind.

What are your general comments?

Extremely laid back. I walked into my first interview and I was pretty nervous because he was a neurosurgeon. He told me to sit down, I did, he looked me straight in the eye, and said "I don't believe in canned questions. I think they're a bunch of bullsh!t." Right away, I knew I was home.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
