What impressed you positively?

Their facilities are very nice and very new. They have small group learning sessions, and lots of new technological things that help you review your performance in patient interviews. Everyone is really nice and friendly, they aren't very stressed out.

What impressed you negatively?

Most students come directly from small colleges in the midwest, and I am a little older and have lived all over so I felt a little out of place. Even though its kind of pass fail students decide what courses they want to honor in and then focus on those. The patient population, and the student body is very homogeneous, though they are trying really hard to give students multiculural experiences and help them be culturally sensitive.
