What impressed you positively?

The compact facility; consulting with any vet on the campus is no more than a walk across the street to the wildlife clinic at the furthest.

What are your general comments?

As you can guess, my interview was just as laid back as every one else's. The two doctors were already laughing when I popped my head around the corner, and our conversations were constantly interrupted with comments and laughter. I had a few more straight-up interview questions than I was anticipating, but nothing that caught me off guard. The only complaint I have is all the down time they scheduled in between seminars, tours, and interviews. I guess I was supposed to ''mingle'' and chat with other applicants and current students, but I had no interest in ''mingling'' so there was a lot of down time. To each his own.
