What impressed you positively?

Facilities were pretty nice... weather was fantastic... davis seems to be a very pleasant city

What impressed you negatively?

very short interview. very business like... seemed they didnt really want to be interviewing me. the tour was not aimed at vet students... it seemed like a general public tour (ie: explaining that the blue drapes are for sterility purposes)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

overall it was ok... again, it was very business like... everyone was nice, but there because they had to be. and to have spent over 9 hours of traveling, more than a 25 minute interaction would have been appreciated
