What impressed you negatively?

i had 2 separate interviews and the 1st one was fantastic and the 2nd one, though ultimately positive, was with a very akward socially inept doctor so was a major strain. unimpressed also by the lack of organization for interview day (meeting with more people, etc.) compared to other schools

What are your general comments?

overall very positive. seems like a FANTASTIC school - if you can handle living in springfield for 3 years. i interviewed at springfield but also checked out carbondale - recommend doing so if you've never been down there.
