the students are very very happy and its generally very cheerful, definitely would have been my first choice...but its going to happen
What impressed you negatively?
It's easy to get lost inside the building and nearly impossible to find a way in. Ugly on the outside and very nice looking on the inside though.
What are your general comments?
I don't believe the interviewer believed me when I told him why I wanted to be a doctor, he asked me that question 3 times. It's my real reason and I guess he wanted to hear something else.
