What impressed you positively?

The students seemed generally easy going and very happy. RWJ does not curve, so it seems like the students genuinely help each other out and work together. Also new labs and small group discussion rooms.

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of parking. I got there an hour early, and still could not find a spot. I had to park in a snow bank.

What are your general comments?

I knew that RWJ was my top choice before the interview, but I've walked away from my interview experience wanting to go there even more. My interviewer made me feel totally at ease, she was absolutely wonderful. She asked some tough questions, but she gave me alot of good advice and feedback.
