What impressed you positively?

Great location, great facilities (brand new), school seems to have a good balance of work and free time, amazing hospitals for 3rd year-two world class and one indigent.

What impressed you negatively?

Parking is an issue, a couple of big city assholes lurk around the school. They tell you to go to a different elevator because they don't want to go down to the ground floor with you when they're going to floor 11. Anatomy labs are 8 people to a body...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The pre-interview social is very hard to get to. Also, it was at a bar so the night before my interview I had a beer and was smelled like smoke.

What are your general comments?

My two interviewers couldn't have been more different... one was ooollldd and soft-spoken, the other was extremely young and hip and exciting.
