What impressed you positively?

The new facilities are going to be amazing. The staff was incredibly friendly, the entire experience low stress, and the students were interesting and sincerely love the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The move to the new campus isn't until December 2007, but that's not too big a deal, in my opinion.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The timing of the move.

What are your general comments?

I loved UCSOM. The facilities are great, the students happy, and staff supportive, and nothing beats the setting of CO.
