What impressed you negatively?

"Student tour. The students gave off an image of laziness and nonchalance, general frivolous attitude towards their medical education. Examples are how much they talked about drinking (trust me, I party a lot so this isn't a sensitive issue, but I just thought that by the time you are a fourth year med student you'd out grow the college frat days), falling asleep in class, not going to class, how useless class is, how much free time they have, how little they study. I mean, fun's fun and all, but these are going to be DOCTORS. It's time to get a little serious, don't you think? And please don't brag about how your average board scores are 2 points above the national mean. Overall, I get the impression that their educational standards are subpar. " Report Response
