What impressed you positively?

Surprisingly, the awesome people. Especially the 4th years in the waiting room, they really couldn't be more helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

Everything else was pretty standard (facilities, curriculum, etc.). Plus, Baltimore = Ghetto.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That what we are told from the fourth years REALLY doesn't apply to us, considering the revamping of the curriculum and all the new, amazing construction.

What are your general comments?

The whole "get a seat in the center of the waiting room so you can talk to the 4th years who are grading you" is bogus. There were 16 people applicants in the waiting room and everyone got involved, chitchatted, and had a pretty awesome time, it wasn't stressful at all. I want to go back there and party with them there! Also, BEWARE: Reed Hall is a dump!
