What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

during the first year the basic science classes are taught with the school of podiatry making the class size 250 durning lecture.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a very enjoyable experiance. I stayed with one of the 2nd year students. I would recomend this to anyone seriously considering sttending. I got to know more about the school that way than during the actual interview. The interview was relaxed.
