What impressed you positively?

The facilities at CCOM are extremely nice. The library/lecture hall building is brand new and very impressive. A new 3 story parking structure was just completed, and the physical fitness facility has an olympic size pool, a full size gymnasium and a nice weight and cardio room.

Nothing

Nothing

What are your general comments?

Overall a very pleasant experience. The interview was pretty low stress, just getting to know the applicant and asking a few questions to see if you can think on your feet. The facilities are very nice and all the students I met were extremely happy with the school. The list of residencies of the class of 2002 includes many of the best hospitals in the Chicago area. I believe this attests to the level of respect that the CCOM program enjoys.
