not much...

What impressed you positively?
The students were very enthusiastic. Also, TGH & Lifelink were very nice. The admissions staff couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating (Mr. Larkin has a great sense of humor and is great to have around to make the day more manageable).

Although they are currently redoing much of it, the USF campus portion was so-so. Also it seems like it might be a driving school in that you may do your rotations in hospitals pretty far away

USF does systems-based blocks, which seemed really nice.
