The new building. Penn has the newest, most state of the art veterinary teaching facility in the world!
What impressed you negatively?
The fact that we couldn't go into the new building because it was still under construction.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The teaching staff/students are really cool!
What are your general comments?
It was awesome. The students were relaxed and helpful. The professors seemed really nice and cool. I got the general feeling that they weren't too interested in my application, rather, they wanted to get to know me as a person instead. I guess to see if they could spend the next 4 years of our lives together. We received a free lunch. We got a tour of the vet school as well as the adjacent undergrad facilities.
