Hey everyone,
I am a 4th year at TUCOM and have seen the transformation from beginning to what it is now. It has gone through major changes and still need more...
When you think about the San Francisco Bay area, RURAL would hardly be in my vocabulary... I mean metropolitan, diverse, beautiful and lots to do definitely, but not RURAL.
Before I got in here, I had interviewed at some of the better DO schools in the country and let me tell you the facilities are some of the top notch around. The anatomy lab kicks ass, none of these huge vents over the cadavers or having to encase them in those old iron lung machines to keep the stench from permeating the whole campus... We have a state of the art ventilation system. Also brand new classrooms, OMM labs, micro/path lab facilities, kick ass gym...
Granted the immediate area the school is on is nothing to write home about, but just get away for few minutes and your in beautiful San Francisco, Berkeley, Napa Valley, Oakland, Sausalito, Tiburon... If that is not enough go skiing in Tahoe 3hrs away, Yosemite Nat. Park 4 hrs away, LA 6 hrs away, Las Vegas 11 hrs away...
There are definitely lots of issues with a relatively new school, but look at the big picture people... Any questions, let me know...
