What impressed you positively?

Facilities are new and look like more is still being developed. Wireless internet throughout building, curriculum is set up integratively so you learn only what is pertinent.

What impressed you negatively?

They just got rid of their student gym on-sight and don't expect to replace it (nursing student facilities will replace it). No cafeteria on-sight.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Integrative curriculum. That it can take a long time to get a cab to come up from the strip to pick you up for the airport.

What are your general comments?

Pretty good. My legs fell asleep because we spent a real long time sitting through the first few speakers in the morning. All the other interviewees and our student interviewers were very nice. The student interview was closed file except for my personal statement so we spent a lot of time rehashing information about my volunteer work, leadership experience and DAT and GPA scores. He also asked a lot of questions about strengths, weaknesses, etc. Faculty interview was very laid back.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
