How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, current events, read over my primary.

What impressed you positively?

The PEOPLE! Everyone was amazing, so welcoming, so enthusiastic about their school. The TECHNOLOGY! All lectures are videotaped and online within 4 hours. All notes are online. All lab slides are online. They said if we can put it online, we do. If we can't yet, we will in the future. Students seem to love watching the lectures at home in double time.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that the campus is not at the same location as the hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known more about the specific differences between PIL and IFM tracks, and if the two groups are as socially isolated as they seem.

What are your general comments?

Loved it! I'd gladly make Drexel my home for the next 4 years!
