"The friendliness of the students and the friendliness toward my husband. It was a beautiful day the day I interviewed. The hospital in town is freaking amazing! It looked like some imperial station in Star Wars or something" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The people in the town are REALLY slow. I think we sat in the drive through at the McD's for a half hour (fast food my a$$). The campus is on the side of a mountain. The school colors are orange and black. As a Steelers fan I don't know if I can go to a school with Bengal's colors." Report Response
