How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

I grew up in FL and so knew all about Miami and G-villeway before I went and visited. I had interviews at both schools during the same weekend and was fully expecting to love miami and not be so excited about UF. I was worried about UF's location. However, I LOVED UF! The faculty are so supportive, the students are happy and LOVE it there, the classrooms are beautiful, and the hospital is really, really nice. About the location: the fine arts there are really incredible, and it's a liberal college town, and cost of living is so cheap! Unlike other schools, the students I met all wanted me to come there- they really love it and love the education they recieve. It really is top notch!

What impressed you negatively?

nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

1) UF has this great Medical Humanities program which really piqued my interest. 2) G-ville is not a cultural black hole. In the next couple months, Hairspray, the Tibetan Monks choir, Chick Corea, Bela Fleck, and NUMEROUS others are coming. 3) Liberalism lives in G-ville! (that's a positive for me)
