Host Students were great, interviewers seemed interested in getting to know me, DHMC is new and fantastic, small town, Dartmouth owns ski resort (discounted student prices), all the lakes and rivers! (I'm from AZ)

Nothing, researched everything pretty well.

What are your general comments?

I stayed with host students, attended class with them before interview (out of 20 interviewers, I think I was the only one to do so-recommend it). Students seem nice, one was unhappy/homesick. Interviewers are nice and interested.
