What impressed you positively?

"EVERYTHING!! The day before, my father and I walked quickly around the school, and I think we saw the *back* of the school (didn't really know where we were going), so I was kind of nervous that the school looked deserted (being a Sunday and all). However, when I arrived the next morning for my interview, the campus was so full of life! The facilities really are amazing-- you should see the anatomy lab! Who's ever heard of an anatomy lab on the sixth floor, containing an entire wall of windows that overlook the skyline of Philly???? I sat in on a class with the first years, and the teaching was amazing-- totally engaging; even though it was a lecture hall with 200+ students, people were raising their hands, asking questions! Also, Deb Erdner (assistant director of admissions) is so incredibly kind and caring; I cannot tell you how much she put me at ease. Also, it was amazing that a second year student sat with us interviewees for the ENTIRE time we were waiting, making sure we weren't nervous! Everyone *is* so nice there; it truly is not a cliche. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Of course, what everyone else complains about-- the wait till interview time. Also, the cafeteria is really nice, but it's so small, and I was disappointed that there was no salad bar. I'm vegetarian, and I hope they have more that the waffles and big honkin' meat I saw there!!" Report Response
