What impressed you positively?

The great concern the staff had for students and how friendly and approachable they were. The campus is great and the facilities for the Osteopathic College were awesome.

What impressed you negatively?

Athens is very hilly with lots of one way streets.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The Sunset Motel, the cheapest motel on the list provided by the Admissions office, was the cheapest for a reason. It was old and run down, and the walls were thin. I didn't get much sleep because of all the noises around me (plus, no alarm clocks in the room!).

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a great experience. The day starts with an overview of the admissions process and the curricular tracks. Then they take you on a tour of the campus and the surrounding city. After that it's lunch with current MS1 and MS2 students (Ho-Ho cake rules!) and then the interviews. Some of the interviews were conversational get-to-know-you type interviews and some were more structured (with the interviewer reading prepared questions off a list). Nothing stressful, tricky or difficult.
