What impressed you positively?

Facilities are great, the anatomy lab was very well ventilated and modern. The school is fairly small and everyone knows everyone which is nice. The campus is beautiful, and I love Valhalla as one feels like they are in a 'forest' surrounded by trees. Campus seems safe and staff seems friendly. I like how the financial aid office seems informative and quite open to helping students. I also liked how the school gave interviwees a list of phone numbers of current students that are willing to answer questions about the school. I also like the continental breakfast and $7 coupen for lunch! that was very nice....

What impressed you negatively?

The cost!!!! very expensive! and its far away from grocery stores, therefore realistically having a car is important, although I suppose one could take the bus and buy food... this might take time though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To relax a bit more :)

What are your general comments?

Overall a very positive and laid back experience, and a beautiful campus, most faculty are very nice and students seem quite willing to help one out.
