What impressed you positively?
Everyone was SO friendly. Sounds trite, but they really were. Everyone was smiling all the time and were extremely helpful. Even 1st & 2nd year med students stopped by to chat on the way to class and to wish us luck and to encourage us to come to PSCOM.
What impressed you negatively?
The hospital/college's layout was very confusing and maze-like. Also, the rural location was a negative thing for me (but not for some other people).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They're in the process of major expansion. SO...there might be a lot of construction underway during med school (if I go there).
What are your general comments?
Overall, PSU was a very positive experience. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Very low competitiveness. The interviews were mostly just chit-chat & going over application stuff. The tour was an hour long though, so don't wear extremely uncomfortable shoes. Overall, I really liked the school. If only it were in a city....
