How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, talked to students about their experiences, looked at their website.

What impressed you positively?

The city if very interesting and the public transportation system is very efficient.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't get to really see all of the facilities (ie labs and floors), I was brought to most of the levels but there wasn't too much shown but two classrooms and clinics.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew it was cold there, but no one told me it was going to be freezing!

What are your general comments?

I had on interview at UOP before visiting Tufts, and I think that Tufts simulation lab seems a bit cramped. I didn't get to see all of the school, but I think because we also stepped into the medical center we didn't have enough time. I found the faculty and students to be nice. Although I didn't feel much of a connection to the school. Overall I think that Tufts is a decent school and they do put much effort into helping their students do well.
