What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about a significant experience in your life.
What impressed you positively?
I liked the school facilities. Very modern and wireless. Plenty of parking. You can live across the street from the school and walk to class in less than 5 minutes. Everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. The town is small so there are less distractions. No traffic. Diverse first class. Impressive anatomy lab. The interactions between faculty and students.
What impressed you negatively?
The tuition is pricey and you need a laptop. There is also a dress code for class. The school is so new so won't know how the class does on boards for a few years (although I like the curriculum)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That classes usually go from 8-12 so less total days off but leaves plenty of study time. How small the library is. I guess everything has gone wireless.(I am a little old fashioned, still like to read from books now and then.)
