What impressed you positively?

People are very nice. The hospital is a good one. Its a major facility in the area, serving a large pop. base. Excellent Oncology and Pediatric facility. Housing is cheap.

What impressed you negatively?

tuition, the cold and psycho taxi cab drivers that use the word f*** as an adj, verb, noun, pronoun etc.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The huge emphasis on ethics based questions in touchy subjects like abortion and the death penalty.

What are your general comments?

I had two interviews. One with a faculty member and a medical student (2 on 1) and another with just a medical student. The faculty member seemed uninterested in me at first but eventually gained interest as the interview progressed. Both medical students that I interviewed with were very easy to talk to.
