What impressed you positively?
The professors seemed really nice, and the PBL curriculum would be perfect for me.
What impressed you negatively?
The students seemed a little spacey; they don't have a teaching hospital; they're not accredited yet.
What are your general comments?
It was decent overall. There were a couple of student life slideshows that were a waste of time -- they were basically a bunch of photos from orientation, with people doing 3-legged races and other ''team-building'' activities, and didn't tell me anything at all about the school. The tour was really short, because there are only two buildings (and a clinic in a trailer). My interview was definitely the most enjoyable part of the day.
