What impressed you positively?

"The whole experience was very positive. I stayed with two fabulous 2MD students and they introduced me to other students as well as answered a lot of my questions while telling me about the school. The day that UM had planned out was great. They let us have lunch with a mix of med students (1MD-4MD) and no admin people present which was great.
