Hello,
We just finished our professional immersion and started classes today. ANDDDD It begins. So far I've been very impressed about how on top of their game they seem to be running things. My classmates are amazing and PBLs are interesting (so far). You will really really like PBL once you start doing them. Will let you know how the first test goes in a few weeks or so. If you haven't got a secondary, maybe send them an email. I think they send them to everyone although I'm not sure.
Location is pretty prime.
As far as research goes, they are building their research program and it is integrated in the curriculum (ideal placement is the summer of M1 year). I just spoke with their research faculty today. Lots of cancer stuff and they have research projects affiliated with a hospital (I forget which one), running clinical trials. Not my ideal type of research, however you can do your project anywhere and will try to make things happen for you to meet the right people you need to meet. So far, very supportive of students research endeavors.
PM Me.
Not at all. Small hick-ups, mainly with technology (the whole university just started using canvas this year) and using the iPads. I normally took notes by hand, so orienting myself to the new apps and stuff is slightly difficult for me. My technology inclined classmates are very helpful though! They have greatly exceeded my expectations thus far.
I finally got an idea of what I needed to write. Anyways, just submitted it!
