What impressed you positively?
Caliber of the faculty and students. The facilities were very impressive. I really like the location-good for a family guy like me.
What impressed you negatively?
We were constantly encouraged to talk to students while there, but the highly structured day didn't really permit much interaction with many students. The tour was given by admissions staff, not students. Would have like to see more of the campus, like the library, anatomy labs, etc. These weren't really negative impressions, but something I would have liked.
