What are your general comments?
Very laid back. They even tell you up front that they're going to try and make it as stress-free as possible. I was interviewed by two of the professors, they were extremely nice and I felt that they were sincerely trying to get to know me as a person.
Another main thing they stress is that you have to be the kind of student that will be successful with PBL.
The students also seemed genuinely happy to be there and answered all the questions honestly.

What impressed you positively?
The friendly atmosphere. The staff knew all the students by name. As we walked around during the tour, everyone was saying hello to each other (the staff, students, even the cafeteria lady!)
What impressed you negatively?
The building is still new, so it feels very sterile, the walls need some paintings or something!
The school is also in the outskirts of bradenton, so it is surrounded by fields with cows, you can even see them out the window! But don't let that deter you, Bradenton is actually a really nice city and is very close to Tampa, Sarasota, and St. Petersburg so there's loads of places to see and things to do.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
A lot of the streets have two names so it's easy to get lost!
