How nice and enthusiastic everybody was, including the faculty. While LMU may be in a rural area, it is actually very beautiful. I loved the architecture of the buildings within the university which was a brick, southern type of style. I loved all the outdoor activities that the area offers and the fact that there is no crime (the police force is all of 1 person). I was impressed by how tech the school will be and how much technology that the faculty/university is incorporating into it.

That it would rain during interview day. I was wearing a skirt suit and I didn't bring an umbrella.
What are your general comments?
First thing I noticed when I stepped out of the airport was how clean the air is! The drive from the airport to the school was longer than I expected it to be but luckly I got a triptix from AAA so I had no problems. I truly enjoyed the area which is so beautiful especially since when I went, the trees were turning. The interview itself went great. The other students and I had a great time and we all talked to each other throughout the day as if we had known each other for years. The faculty and admissions staff were so enthusiastic about the area and the school. The medical school itself is going to be amazing with its use of extensive technology. The faculty made a point to mention that they were trying to add any and all technology possible. Once complete, it will be one of the most state of the art facilities in the country. Once the interviews were complete the students and the faculty went to the cafeteria to eat lunch together which was great because it allowed you to get to know each other better. Overall, I loved the charm of the area and I know that it will become an excellent school.
