The students were so friendly and outgoing. Everyone I ran into stopped to chat with me and answer any questions I had about the school and about Rochester. The facilities themselves are very nice, and Rochester seems like a fun place to live. I'm also a big fan of their curriculum

Honestly, nothing

What are your general comments?

Rochester is an amazing school! The day starts off with some brief talks and then you have one interview before the lunch and tour, and another afterwards. You have a lot of downtime so I definitely suggest sitting in on a PBL or lecture. The interview themselves were low stress. I really felt that the interviewers strived to get to know as a person. Stay with a student host! It's a great way to meet students and get to know the school.
