What are your general comments?
This school looks amazing and the clinic seems like a wonderful place to gain experience in all types of specialties. Everyone I encountered during my interview day, including some students, was very very friendly. They all love being there. The school is not in the center of a busy city, nor is it in the middle of nowhere (a plus for someone like me). There is free and ample parking for all students!
