What are your general comments?

If interview days are like hotels, this would be a Red Roof Inn while most other interview days are more like a Holiday Inn or a Hilton. They herd you through with minimal guidance, get you a money brief and an interview and send you on your way. No lunch, no sim center tour, no obligatory walk through the anatomy lab or student lounge or library. My overall impression was that the education you get here is probably decent, but it's just too big to be personal and friendly. It felt like an assembly line day rather than the small, personal interview days most schools have.
