What impressed you positively?

Students love the school. As a health professions school, the medical school is the main focus and thus all the students (even though the class size is 255) get a lot of personal attention

What impressed you negatively?

Construction is noisy and not very attractive, but it means there will be a new building.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Very positive, the students love the school and the faculty all had great things to say. Most students live within a couple blocks on the downtown Philly campus, so there is a community feel even though you're in the city. Interviewers were nice (one student and one faculty) and mostly just chatted and had an informal conversation. Dean of Admissions spends some time talking with the students and she is really nice and very helpful.
