What are your general comments?

We began the day in the library where we were greeted warmly by a library staff member (very cheerful and warm). Afterwards, we were joined by 3 medical students who were our guides for the day. They took us to our rooms and picked us up as well. Afterwards, we met with the dean some other staff, had a tour, and that was it. I ended up sitting in on a GI lecture which was a little dull (but then again, i also had no clue as to waht they were talking about, but the lecture hall was nice!).
