What are your general comments?
LECOM seems very professional, as a medical school should... The staff seems very friendly for the most part... Students seem to enjoy themselves... Wish I was allowed to drink water... Not sure how to survive without coffee either... Erie has a small town feel and is really cute... I think it will be a good environment for studying... housing is cheap... Thank God they plow during the winter!

What impressed you positively?
The Health and Wellness Center is AWESOME. Amy is fabulous. Dress code is okay. Lots of housing close to campus. PBL pathway mock session was actually pretty fun.
What impressed you negatively?
I'm a bit nervous about not being allowed to even have water anywhere on campus except the cafeteria... seems a bit much... I understand no food, and even uncovered containers, but not even water? I mean, we are grown-ups...

Well, they won't tell you, but I wish I had known if it was going to be a group or an individual interview... they enjoy the element of surprise :)
