What impressed you positively?

They are building a new medical school that will be open in 1.5 years. The tour guides were funny, friendly, and happy. The doc I interviewed with was nothing but fun.

What impressed you negatively?

Yeah, so it's not in the greatest neighborhood, but at least the patient population is diverse and the proximity to downtown is nice! Living in a city is exhilirating

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It's pretty darn expensive for out of state: $67,000 and rising.

Very mellow day, short schpeal about the school, tour with 4 students, lunch, and then interview with an awesome doctor.
