What are your general comments?

"I was impressed by the school and the people. You can tell the students are happy, and the faculty genuinely want them to succeed. Yes, the campus is only one building so far, and pharmacy only takes up one floor. However, the other schools I've interviewed at so far were very similar in having just a few classrooms for lectures dispersed into different buildings. I wouldn't count it as a negative. The writing sample was only 15 minutes, but it's a simple situational question. Don't stress it too much. For those taking public transportation, it takes about an hour and a half to get from PDX airport to the school using the MAX. " Report Response
