What are your general comments?

"Setting up a student host was a little wierd, but worked. Lunch was a good time for the presentations; they had us seated around this big table like the knights of the roundtable. A great "medical meeting" atmosphere; I felt important to be there. Students were also happy to be there, interacting and studying with groups of friends. Everyone had so much respect and admiration for each other and treated me like I belonged there. The student interviewer really cared about what I had to say; I think it mattered." Report Response
