I have never met a student body so enthusiastic about a school before. It took them a very long time to even think of something that they didn't like about the school...and even that was trivial!

Just the price of living and the fact that its foggy and cloudy a lot on that side of SF
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?
The student interviewer was awesome and I really felt like it was a conversation. The faculty interviewer was good as well, but inherently is going to be more stressful. The staff at UCSF is awesome and really act like they care about the students and their well-being.
