SDN, sleep?

Nothing. I kept anticipating really hard ethics questions or something, but all my questions were very standard (e.g., why medicine, tell me about your research, tell me about your experience living abroad, etc etc).
What impressed you positively?
The bright and enthusiastic students. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The lecture hall was gorgeous. Each seat is equipped with its own microphone. I also liked the gothic architecture on campus.
