What impressed you positively?

Location is better than I expected, diverse patient population

What impressed you negatively?

The cost (of the school and of housing close-by), seemingly lacking technological edge, finished interview at 10 and then had to basically sit around until 2:something

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was ok. I'm kind of neutral about the school. I REALLY liked some things, and then I was turned off by others. Some of the students seemed kind of down...kind of negative about how much work they have, which I hadn't really experienced anywhere else. The interview itself was ok, but the rest of the day was pretty annoying. I just felt like it was a waste of money afterwards, basically. Nothing amazing was revealed to me over the course of the day.
