What impressed you positively?

The Campus. It does not look so great on the outside, but when you walk in, it's a different story. Everything is updated and renovated. The Anatomy lab is awesome, and the lecture halls are well laid out for the students with plenty of leg room, table space allows for laptops and note pads for each student. Library is pretty nice also.

It was my first interview, and I wish I would have known to eat a decent size breakfast. I was nerves, but then was hungry soon after I arrived on campus, some growls from my stomach, luckily not during the interview.
