What are your general comments?
I spent the night with a student host in Campus Court (student housing). The day started with two faculty interviews, one open file and one closed file. After that they gave a campus tour. The campus is connected to both the hospital and the nursing school. At one point of the tour, we entered an area of 30 students having lunch. One of the kids in my tour group asked "where are all of the guys?" Everyone in the room was a female. The school is comprised of 65% girls with a nursing school attached to the medical school.
