What impressed you negatively?

"The tour guide focused more on hitting the bars than the facilities and academics...I had to interview with my tour guide because my interviewer didn't show up...the student facilities are very old, in the basement, falling apart...no one interviewing that day seemed impressed or excited to be there... Alot of the students said that they didn't attend the lectures (which are held in a concrete pit) because they aren't helpful...they are only affiliated with one free clinic and they didn't know how many students were involved, there wasn't any big emphasis on research....I think that the most dishearting moment can be summed up in the comment, ''all you have to do is memorize enough of the lecture notes to pass, then everyone goes and gets drunk on test days''...personally, my goals aren't just to pass and get drunk..."
