The lack of parking in the area

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the BU Medical Campus is not on the BU Main Campus by the Charles River, it is in the South End

What are your general comments?

It was actually very pleasant and I learned a lot about the school. It was very relaxed and the dean kept reiterating that it was just a way for the school to meet us and see if we were a good fit for BU, not an interrogation. My interviewer was so nice and put me completely at ease. We just chatted for over an hour about my activities and experiences, he never asked one ethical or health care question.
