The new facilities - very nice, how good the school was, the access to four different types of hospitals, early patient-physician contact.

The interviewers were all physicians, which was nice, but they didn't seem to know as much about the school as they could have. They actually answered some of my questions incorrectly (according to the students I talked with later).

Finding the parking lots they want you to park at is nearly impossible. I would recommend just paying to park in the garage right by Volker Hall.
