How did you prepare for the interview?

Went online to SDN and the school web site.

What impressed you positively?

The students are happy, they have a good relationship with the admin, they have the opportunity for year round outdoors activities to blow off steam, they are very easy to talk to.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities for the med students could use some paint and a technology upgrade. Compared to all the other schools I have been to their facilites are a bit ragged. I would suggest a better IT solution with smart boards instead of dry earase boards, notes given as electronic files across the board so students do not have to rescan them, online textbook access, and maybe moving from paper exams and quizes to computer based exams.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is abundant on campus housing.

What are your general comments?

Fantasic Day!!! The longer I was there, the more I felt like this was the place for me even with the older facilities and the fact that the medical center is 15-30 minutes away by car.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
