What impressed you positively?

everything.. the school is already clean and open/bright compared to other schools, but they're going to have a new building by 2014!! the staff is really friendly, and makes the interview date feel like a cake walk. they keep saying that they want to get to know us, and want us to figure out whether or not we think we "fit". the students are all really happy and you can see the camraderie. also, the students here do a bunch of cases that folks from other DS's won't see because they have to refer more difficult cases to residents in their school's specialty programs. they also talk about the "family" aspect of UoP a lot, and it's great to know that there's so much support through the craze that is dental school.
