What impressed you positively?

The dedication of staff and students to the good of their communities, the enormous support and opportunities for students to serve globally and locally. The student apartments and express bus into manhattan (30-40 minutes).

What impressed you negatively?

The anatomy labs, tiny, cramped, a bit smelly.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just as a note, the students are about 40% jewish and a large group of those are orthodox, so things are closed on saturdays and there definitely is a jewish feel to the campus. It definitely is NOT a problem, but something to be aware of.

What are your general comments?

I got there at 10 am, my interview was at 11 am with Dean Kuperman (thus the stress level), who is the Dean of Education Affairs, or something. I ended up meeting with two other deans as well, who were fantastic. Kuperman's interview was intense, he was very inquisitive, in an interesting way, asking a lot of philisophical and complicated questions about my work. Really a great man though. Meet with Dean Kerrigan, she's fantastic. I met with her after the lunch and tour. The lunch was good - don't forget to pick up all utensils and napkins before you leave the cafeteria (which is being rebuilt and you can't eat there), so that you don't have to walk back. The students were really content, congenial, and the atmosphere was really great. One thing that stands out at AE is the clinical experience, it is top-notch. If you've done clinical work before, the standard third year might be all repreat, but at AE you'd actually learn much more. The apartments are great, the living environment really nice, and the classrooms are nice too. The diversity in students is decent, not exceptional.
