What impressed you negatively?

New Haven. Part of it was pretty nice, but when I went out at night to look at the area around the medical school I swear I was about to be mugged on several occasions. I wouldn't recommend for those who don't want to walk around at night with a crowbar under their jackets.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

School was pretty nice, and the people were all really laid back. Students were pretty cool too. New Haven itself was the only thing I didn't like (see above). Oh, also I was supposed to stay with a student host, but the office never finished setting it up. I even contacted them to confirm weeks in advance and they never got back to me so I had to blow $100 staying at a hotel.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
