What impressed you positively?

each student has his/her own desk on campus with a cubpoard to lock items in (besides anatomy locker). the lunch was awesome! the students loved the school.

What impressed you negatively?

not really any housing available.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the tour is a little longer than others i've had, so wear comfortable shoes. if you select an off-campus interview, you still have to go to campus. i didn't mind, but some did.

What are your general comments?

With my student interview, we just went to the cafeteria and chatted. She was really friendly and just wanted to get to know me a bit. Very low stress! <br> My other interview was with an alumni off campus. (I had selected this option when choosing my interview date.) The only stress I had was self-inflicted. Some others I talked to that day had pretty tough ethics ?s, but I didn't. The last 2/3 of my interview was my interviewer talking and giving me advice about the application process. At one point, he said that the purpose of the 1st 5 minutes of the interview is to make sure that the applicant is normal. He just wanted to get to know me. A lot of the questions were about the current app process because he has been out of school for a while and just interested in who's applying now. Very low stress!
