What impressed you positively?

The facilities at Tufts are all new and very impressive. Their simulation center is the best I have seen. Also, the Chinatown location is incredible and gives a great choice of cheap and amazing food all around you. Tufts is also right at the Theatre District which is very cool, and only a few minutes walk to Boston Commons.

What impressed you negatively?

The first part of the day was just presentation after presentation, and they all seemed to be rushed even though the day ends up being very long anyway. Also, being kept in the same room for the majority of the day wasn't ideal.
