What impressed you positively?

LOCATION!

What impressed you negatively?

The least impressive thing at almost any private school is how they sometimes try and "sell" the school. It really felt like we were being sold a spot at the school, and it really wasn't necessary <it's a wonderful school!!!>.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Grading is P/F. Schedule during the first year is EXTREMELY open - very few hours spent in lecture every week, and so studying becomes a personal endeavor, and most of the education is presented through a PBL system. Some people may not be able to make the adjustment easily from undergrad coursework.
