What impressed you positively?

pros: caring atmosphere, happy professors, happy students, established school, buildings are pretty big and many floors, the alumni center (awesome, looks like a resort in the mountains, or that new hotel at disneyland made out of wood), genesis curriculum (very practical!), has a bookstore, school atmosphere is extremely professional, lots of help - support sys. I like trying on the white Dr. coat. the student lounge where you wait before interviews /it had a big-screen TV, computers, pool table. Anybody that goes to this school WILL receive one of the best medical education anywhere and will be worth every penny. Gym was Ok, not 2 small and not too big

What impressed you negatively?

cons: small anatomy lab, extreme lack of diversity (not UHS's decision), no on-campus housing, cafeteria food (oily foods, open around 6 AM to 2 PM), walking around KC is lonely, felt like i was the only one around, may have to go out of state for clinical rotation, dress code (example, guys - slacks and collared shirts ; or can wear scrubs), school is too professional, doesn't seem like students have fun learning. Remember, this is a school, not a business. Can't wear jeans, t-shirts. One of the student tour guide was not friendly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

most students are married with kids, most students live 10-15 min away from campus, if you live at the apartment diagonally across the street, have to drive 10-15 min to nearest supermarket, wal-mart, There's no traffic. KCI airport is weird, has like 4 1-story buildings next to each other. Area isn't as ghetto as some would say. KC has many old-fashioned, brick buildings. I heard that unemployment rate in KC is increasing.

What are your general comments?

Interview was pleasant. Panel of 2 went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. Conversation rather than Q&A. Extremely nice interviewers. The video that you see in the morning is not an accurate depiction of the diversity of the school. But if I was responsible for making that video, i would have done the same thing.
