SDN, gathered interview questions and answered them.

The facilities are brand new and all the students were really friendly. The school is unique in that there are other health professional students around that also take classes with the optometry students.

What impressed you negatively?

The humidity.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would be so humid and that the hotel shuttle takes about an hour to pick you up from wherever you are, but will drop you off anywhere by the hour.

What are your general comments?

It was very relaxed and stress-free. Everyone made me feel comfortable and were saying that they were there for me. All the students were encouraging and helpful. Fran is very nice and helpful! The interview was with two faculty members and it was almost like a conversation.
