What impressed you positively?

Memorial Hospital seriously looks like a 5-star hotel. I would LOVE to work there. Most of the facilities are really really new and pretty. The students seem to really enjoy being at the school and there's an air of collegiality about the place.

What impressed you negatively?

Chicago weather. My flight out of Chicago(and about 50 others) got cancelled due to bad weather, and it's not even hardcore wintertime yet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That ''tell me about yourself'' meant 2-3 general sentences and not a speech about yourself.

What are your general comments?

I loved the place. The admissions deans were friendly. The students were friendly. The people on the street were friendly. It was a pleasant experience overall.
