What are your general comments?

The interview day proceeded in the following order: sit in first-year lecture, morning interview, sit in second-year lecture, tour facilities, lunch, tour dormitory, finish. I was handed a confidential envelope containing my application material, to be transferred to the interviewer. The actual interview covered expected topics such as medicine, hobbies, and community services. The first-year lecture hall was newly renovated and looks better than that of the second-years. If you arrive earlier than your scheduled interview or your interview finished before lunch, you are told to either sit in on a lecture or lounge around. Fellow interviewers and student tour guides were quite amicable. Food at the dining hall was terrific and paid for with an "all you can take" food voucher. Shared 2,3-bedroom housings are quite affordable. The school closes on Saturday but in reality students still have 24-hour access. Affiliated hospitals cover quite a lot of territory to emphasize the quality of specialty at each region. A great feel.
