What impressed you positively?

the 4th year student was really great and i thought that the clinical years would be a good experience. their medical spanish program was also nice.

What impressed you negatively?

their classrooms weren't the greatest and their anatomy lab wasn't ventilated well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

i wish i studied up more on ethical issues, i stumbled through one and accidentally injected the word abortion, which the interviewer took to mean that i'm a baby killer.

What are your general comments?

it was a real surprise because i didn't really care about it. i only applied because it was my state school but it seemed like a good community and a decent place to train.
