school's website, viewbook, SDN interview feedback, talked to current M2 who graduated from my school

What impressed you positively?

Everything! Creighton is awesome. The students were enthusiastic, very supportive of each other. The administration listens to the students. I love their focus on bio-psycho-social model of medicine and on cultivating caring physicians. The facilities were very nice (both the academic building/classrooms and the hospital).

What impressed you negatively?

There was no vegetarian option at lunch.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Omaha is actually a pretty nice place to be.

What are your general comments?

The day started off with Dr. Nipper giving us a welcome (very nice guy) and having us introduce ourselves. We had a couple presentations before heading off to the hospital for our interviews. I had 2 interviews, the first with a faculty member and the second with a student. They held them in empty patient rooms, which I thought was a little odd. My interviews were very low key, but some other interviewees I talked to had some really tough/somewhat strange questions (like sing your theme song). Then we had lunch and a tour of the hospital. We had a financial aid presentation and then a fond farewell from Dr. Nipper. Lastly, we went on a tour of the academic building and the campus. Quite a long day; definitely wear comfortable shoes! I stayed with a student host and highly recommend it. It costs $40/night, but they pick you up from the airport and drive you around and such.
