What impressed you positively?

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.

What are your general comments?

The school is going to be great and the location is beautiful. The curriculum seems to be focused on what's best for the students. The faculty and staff are all so nice and make you feel at home. I think the dress code is appropriate for the field we are embarking upon, and the year-round calendar is fine with me as well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
