Everything impressed me. This school was awesome! All high tech, wireless, best ventilation system in anatomy lab, location is amazing, and the staff is completely focused on the students.
What impressed you negatively?
Not fully accredited, no microscopes for histology(I prefer my own slides/scope). Some students mentioned that some of the students don't get along but it's a personal thing, which I think is ridiculous since we are supposed to be professionals!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It's not that I didn't know, I just didn't focus on it as much that the school isn't fully accredited.
