What impressed you positively?
The people were great, very friendly. Dr. Kasberg met with us before out interviews to give us a pep talk which put me at ease. They are very honest about their strengths and shortcomings.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities. As everyone says, ancient, really out of date. Won't be building anything new anytime soon. I really didn't feel like I wanted to spend four years in that dungeon. Also, a student was crying outside while I waiting for my interview. Overheard some stuff about the PBL. Most students seem to hate it, but acknowledge that they think it makes them better clinicians in the long run.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Don't bother getting there early, there is no waiting area, just the hall or the library or outside. They don't let you check in until exactly the scheduled time, to the minute.
