What impressed you negatively?

"The attitude of the faculty, students and staff (pretty arrogant but with a large inferiority complex to boot). The whole 'cura personalis' thing which is really not unique to their school. The extent to which the Catholic affiliation effected the school (no stem cell research!). Cost of attendance and debt at graduation. My interviewer answered his phone no less than 5 times during the interview. Most of all: the teaching facilities, in the basement, very run-down looking." Report Response
