What are your general comments?
Overall it went well. I didn't like how we had to find the way to our interviews on our own. I was almost late for one because I was confused about where the building I had to go to was located. I also found it slightly odd that all of the student interviewers (but not the student tour guide or the faculty interviewers) were in jeans/tshirts. Everyone else was dressed more business style.

What impressed you positively?
They have a nice area for med students to study. MSU's campus is very pretty, but the CHM is far away from most of it.
