What impressed you positively?

Everything from the students who were so excited to be there to the new facilities to the faculty who are dedicated to teaching students.

What impressed you negatively?

The community isn't so much a city but neither is it rural. Its just a vast developed sprawl with a ton of traffic.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How relaxed the interview process is.

What are your general comments?

The most amazing part was in the morning, right off the bat, the tell you that not only are they interviewing you today as a prospective student, but you are interviewing the school as well. At that point I was able to relax. The day went quickly beginning with a brief presentation in the morning. Then we went on a walking tour of the medical school with two student guides who were fantastic. Afterwards, I had my interview and we broke for lunch which was provided. In the afternoon we had a bus tour of the campus followed by a brief conclusion by one of the deans there and we were finished.
