What are your general comments?

"I really enjoyed the interview. I liked that they get the interviews done before lunch. I left with good impressions of the school, but I think I would like a more culturally diverse environment. Seems like I would run out of things to do in AZ, but then again I will be studying most of the time anyway. I do like golf, and there is plenty of that. Some students I talked to seemed to really love it, others seemed like they settled on a DO school. The students experiences seemed to vary when it came to rotations, it seemed like it was up to the student to setup the rotations, which I guess gives more freedom as to where you rotate, but to me it seems like the school should make the rotations more standardized."
