What impressed you positively?

the new athletics/recreational facility is amazing. the anatomy and the simulation labs were also very nice. the students, in general, seem to love the place. housing is also very affordable, and there seem to be enough activities to participate in outside of med school.

What impressed you negatively?

not all of the facilities are quite up-to-date - some seem pretty old. tuition is steep. parking, apparently, is terrible - but the bus is free for students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

they ask you to get there at 8.00, but they don't start until closer to 8.45 or 9.00. don't get there at 7.30 like a few of us did.
