What impressed you positively?

The students were very sincere and nice to talk to. The Peoria campus is very small so that students can really get a lot of attention and also apparently has the highest board scores and best residency matches compared to other campuses. The hospitals in the area seem top notch.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities seemed old, which probably doesn't matter. Also they did not provide lunch so I would make sure that you eat something before you get there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They don't provide food. I had to go find a vending machine :(

What are your general comments?

I interviewed on the Peoria campus. The admissions staff said that they have no idea when I will hear back.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
