Research is now a huge priority and is required for all students. New research institute was also built which has a huge added value for the college.
-
Cooperative and "laid back" nature of medical students and administration was extreamly valuable in making medical education as low stress as possible
-
Outrageously expensive as an out of state student. Worth trying to get in state status before starting. Other than that, and the location (which they can do nothing about), a good school to attend.

I have been extremely happy here and feel as though my school really cares about me. Unlike the way I feel about my undergraduate institution--I definitely do plan to donate as an alum once I have an established career.
Success!
