SDN and talked to students there

What impressed you positively?

Anatomy lab

What impressed you negatively?

Winston Salem is..well...behind in the times. The buildings are very dark and gray. Everyone seemed so down. The students looked like they want to be there. Two of my student hosts said this wasn't their first choice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the admissions office was so hard to find.

What are your general comments?

This was a VERY weird itnerview. One interviewer seemed as if he had not read my application and we had nothing to think about. The city is not very cultural, and the classrooms are dark. Two of my student hosts (from NC) said this was not their first choice. One said he didn't get in to UNC the other said he didn't want to go to ECU. wow.. I had three acceptances prior to this interview so i withdrew after the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Do away with the host "mom"
