What impressed you positively?
Bob. He's a local/the van driver. So so nice.
The plans for the school are very impressive.
What impressed you negatively?
One interviewer (a DO) was a bit curt.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It's not an easy trip to the school. The directions they give are good, but plan on a good 1.5 hour drive from Knoxville. There's A LOT of fog--it was a little scary driving into town with almost no visibility.
What are your general comments?
It was a pleasant day. Everyone is very enthusiastic about the school. It appears that this will be an excellent school to be part of--though it is VERY rural (the school and Dollar General store are the downtown) and not that easy to reach. If it wasn't so hard to get to, I'd definitely put it towards the top of my list.
