What impressed you positively?

The students were laid back and friendly. Ohio State has a fairly nice campus, with lots of things to do in the surrounding neighborhoods. You get in-state tuition after 1 year.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was way too short. There wasn't enough time to evaluate the facilities, and we didn't get to see the hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are very laid back. The first is a 15 minute interview with a student, which helps you prepare for the following 30-45 minute interview with a faculty member.
