There is no teaching hospital,

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Bring a pen to take notes with, and if you are driving, get there early to find parking... the garage fills up pretty quickly. And girls, if you're going to wear heels, make sure they're comfortable... you do a lot of walking around the HPD building and the NSU campus.

What are your general comments?

Not only was the interview extremely laid back and stress-free, but I actually enjoyed it as well. When I walked in the door, the interviewers asked me how my day was going and, with big smiles, offered me a cup of tea! I felt like I was just having a friendly conversation, and in fact, I ended up being 25 minutes late to lunch because we were so engaged in conversation that we completely lost track of time. At the end of the day, I left with a much more favorable impression of the school then I had had previously.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
