What impressed you positively?
Interviewers were very nice and candid. Morning lecturer knew everything about Erie and LECOM. There actually is research going on in and near LECOM.
What impressed you negatively?
The school and the atmosphere seemed a lot like high school to me. Everyone was traveling around in packs. At noon the lunch room/study hall was packed. It was just weird, I guess. Also, the lunch orders were incorrect. I'm not sure how it's possible to mess up box lunches for 3 out of 13 people.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing really.
