What impressed you positively?

Students are happy, my host was great, people study together and are happy. The tuition is nice, in-state after the 1st year if out of state. Nice anatomy lab.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are not amazing. Lecture halls are undergoing construction though. When we asked what students didn't like about the school, they said the teaching - some lecturers aren't good, they said. A couple people said the teaching isn't great, which concerned me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

People are so nice. The hopsital is huge!

What are your general comments?

Arrived in the morning and was shuffled to a conference room where the Dean gave us a presentation of the school and did a small PBL exercise. It was fun and a good taste of PBL, not difficult. Then we get put in a room and have interviews with people (little disorganized). Lunch and tour with students, then Q&amp;A with the Dean of student affairs at the end. Not a bad day, tour was nice. People are friendly.
