What impressed you negatively?

"The tour guide was a little off the wall, and told us something about the anatomy lab that sort of left me with a negative impression about the students.

What are your general comments?

"Drexel was an interesting place. I felt like there was a lot of downtime, which is both good and maybe not so good. My student host was great, very helpful and informative. The faculty interviewer was kind of hard to read, and just asked the standard "stuff about you" questions - tell me about yourself, etc. No ethical questions or off the wall questions. The student interviewer had a distinct set of questions she wanted to ask, but it wasn't really awkward or anything. I liked the facilities, and the curricula - both IFM and PIL - seem to have a lot to offer in different ways. Plus, the humanities thing is neat. I thought our tour guide was a little off the wall, and she told us about a pseudo-prank that was done in the anatomy lab.. that was a little unsettling to me, but maybe I'm being too sensitive about it. I'm not sure that I felt "at home" here like I have elsewhere, but I guess we shall see, and that's totally a personal comment." Report Response
