What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything. The campus and facilities are really nice, and I really got the feeling that you will get a solid medical education there. I liked the sim labs and surgery skills labs. Lecture halls had outlets and internet ports so you can definitely bring a computer to class, and also all the lectures are recorded and available to students.The faculty in my interview were very positive and encouraging. I generally felt like they were rooting for me.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish they would tell us a list of their clinical sites. Even if the sites change from year to year, I still think it is important for us to have an idea of what the options will be.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I don't know... if you read the rest of these feedback comments, nothing will really be a surprise.
