What are your general comments?

I think LECOM is a very good school. I like that it has a ton of hospitals in many different states to pick from for your 3rd and 4th year rotations. Erie is definitely not like a Philadelphia, NYC, or other big cities, but I really don't mind that. Cleveland, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh are all about 1 1/2 hours away so if you felt the need to go escape and do something fun in a big city atmosphere, you can do that. I don't mind the dress code policy at all. If the dress code is the reason you wouldn't want to go to LECOM, then that's very shallow thinking. I also don't mind cold weather.

The helpfulness and openness of everyone I encountered, from students to staff to faculty.

Nothing really. They should change the no food/no drink policy though. Students get hungry and thirsty during long days at school!

Everything was pretty much how I expected. Everyone said it was a low stress day, but I was still surprised at how low stress it really was.
