At 11:30 we were given a tour by three students. We saw the anatomy lab, lecture halls, cafeteria, student lounge, the library, and the spectacular view from the 9th floor of Weiskotten Hall. Lunch was provided, choice of a salad or tasty sandwiches. The library is great! Both of my interviews were of a conversational nature and I felt very comfortable the entire time I was there."
