Absolutely everything! This school is already really good and you can tell they are devoted to getting better.

What impressed you negatively?

The lecture rooms are a little dingy but they are building a great new building. Also, I'm not really keen on not being guaranteed which campus you'll be at for years 3 and 4. Also, students there said that there is somewhat of an overcompetitive atmosphere.

The clinical facilities at UAB are incredibly enormous. There is so much to get involved with professionally.
