What impressed you positively?

The hospital (New Brunswick) is the best in the state. Ultra modern and beautiful. The curriculum is also very cool (P/F first two years), great match list.

What impressed you negatively?

The building looks like a prison. The study space, lecture halls, and overall facilities at the actual school look like they haven't been touched since they were built a century ago. The school also seems to put a huge emphasis on research at the expense of early clinical exposre.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewer at the hospital had moved to a new office a year ago. I had to have a kind secretary show me the interviewer's new office on another floor.
