What impressed you positively?

"Location, students, faculty, how nice the campus is" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Hospital is a 20 minute drive (no traffic, 45 min in traffic). This majorly sucks I think. The surrounding area is nice to live in, but not for everyone. It's more of a place you'd want to live when you're older" Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"There's a lot of students interviewing, maybe around 30" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I wouldn't mind going here, just because of its location. Other than that, its a decent school but I think one of its strongest selling points is the location. There are a few things that bother me, like the distance to the hospital. Also, the first year, currently P/F, is going to be H/P/F starting next year, which isn't ideal. Class size of 104 is nice."
