What impressed you positively?

The D-facility is great! System based biomedicine during the first 2yrs, Large size of patient pool (They say D-students are actually in shortage to meet the patient pool in INDIANA!, The only D-school in Indiana, Classic campus & city look (Diverse culture, artistic figurines and works all over the campus & town, the architecture in Indianapolis), Idol superstars = D females??, Student oriented faculty members and staffs, Seal Indiana program & international mission trips, Their organized schedule for the two day interview EVENT!

What impressed you negatively?

Now, I know what's their problem! NOnononono~ I know why people say the building looks old!Just re-paint the Dschool building!! That's it! HAHAHAHAHA^^ Nothing special!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

We had Indiana campus tour. (I am not talking about our D-school tour) If I had known this ahead, I would have worn a convenient shoes. I just spent $100 for BBQ lunch! $80 for taxi! It's a long distance from the main campus for taxi! There was a big "GOGO" XXXX bar in the size of a food market within 40sec walking distance from my hotel. Marathon in the morning caused "traffic jam". My taxi driver and I had to detour the road to get to my interview place on time.

What are your general comments?

Yeah! At first glance, the building looks a little bit old! However, this could be just resolved by painting a small portion of it again! That's very easy! In fact, their D facilty inside is great! They also have newly built perio department(endo??), and the entire things were awesome! Moreover, they have their own D-building, and it's impressively huge! Overall, the Indiana university is a very big one. Local people know it as IUPUI, which is Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis. Living cost is reasonable, and diverse cultural life is procured! Their student to chair ratio is really ideal, too! Believe it or not, there are many rumors. HAHA^^

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Great experience! Two day interview is really worth!! Btw, are ur people hollywood Idol stars? HAHAH
