What are your general comments?
Great Day! I came into the day not looking forward to it because I had a negative impression of Drexel. I left with a big smile on my face :)! The day was great: very nice campus and surrounding area, pleasant admissions staff, low-stress interview - - an overall great experience. For my faculty interview, I had to travel by shuttle bus to Hahneman University Hospital in center city, which is about a 25-minute ride. At first I thought this was ridiculous, but after thinking about it, I feel that it gives the interviewee an experience that Drexel students go through during their course of study. The student interview is over lunch, very laid back and conversational. I am still concerned about the teaching hospital situation. The hospitals are owned by a for-profit company, which just announced that it was closing MCP Hospital (the MCP in "MCP/Hahneman University") . . .
