What impressed you positively?

The school has great facilities and a seemingly outstanding anatomy department. I think the best part of the interview day was how many students I met. They were at our breakfast, tour, lunch, and many just stopped by to talk to us while we were waiting around for our interviews!

What impressed you negatively?

NSU seems a little behind in the technology aspect. Most other schools I have visited require you to have a laptop and give you electronic information for class, and I like that. Also, there is very little research going on at this school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Attendance policy and dress code are not really enforced. Cost of living in Ft. Lauderdale is HIGH.

What are your general comments?

It was a really great interview day, and it was nice to be able to talk to so many students who were willing to talk candidly about the school. The interview was not stressful at all--interestingly the interviewers were an MD/MPH, MD, PhD, and DO. The facilities were really amazing, and it seems like their curriculum is very good. Overall great school!
