The student who gave the tour was very positive about the school and emphasized that this was a school that you could build a career on, and still have a lot of fun during med school. Lots of clinical experience right from the first year.

What impressed you negatively?

What are your general comments?

Schools facilities seem adequate, but will probably not overly impress you. Students seem to have an active life outside of studying. Interview is pretty low stress, other interviewees said they talked about random topics such as how they like South American food.
