What impressed you positively?

students were friendly, the choice of two paths, that you can pay in-state tuition after first year

What impressed you negatively?

the first thing we did was sit in a hot room for an hour and a half just listening to people talk at us; my student interviewer didn't tell me anything about herself without me prompting; i got first-year students for my tour, so they didn't know about anything academically except for anatomy; we didn't see any of the hospitals during the tour; some med students entered during the morning talk and were whispering to each other, which was really distracting and annoying
