What impressed you positively?

What impressed you negatively?

"The whole school is finally moving to the Sacramento campus. This is good on the one hand, since it sucks to have to commute between classes at the Davis campus and clinical experience at the med center in Sacramento, but the Davis campus is so beautiful and seems to have a more central location for students to hang out. I'm sure the move is great in the long-run, but I really fell in love with the Davis campus." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"First of all, you'll have to go back and forth between the two campuses over the course of the day. My day started at the Sacramento campus and ended at the Davis campus. If you don't have a car, you'll need to take a shuttle, and you have to buy the tickets in advance AT the Davis campus, so plan in advance. However, most of the students had cars and were willing to give the rest of us rides back to Davis." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"It was great. The student interviews are over lunch (but I ate beforehand, because I'm a messy eater and I had some free time), so my student interviewer bought lunch and we ate and talked outside.
