What impressed you positively?

Happy students! Rochester's students are very friendly and seem to enjoy being there. I saw a bunch of first-years before they went in for a big exam and they didn't seem too stressed and took time to say hi. Nice PBL and case method rooms.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour wasn't too extensive... we didn't get shown the actual medical facilities.

What are your general comments?

Surprisingly relaxed. The day went by very quickly and we had numerous chances to ask questions. The dean of admissions talked with us at the beginning of the day and even came out again later and asked us if we had any more questions.. very nice personal touch!
