What impressed you positively?

The friendly, welcoming attitude that was shared by every person that I talked to at the school. I was also happy to see that everyone at the school embraces the osteopathic philosophy.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing in particular.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The town may be small, however, it has the nicest people that you may ever meet. Although I was not enthusastic before my visit about the posibility of being in such a small town, I realized that what the area lacks in size is made up for by personality.

What are your general comments?

Incredible. Every person that I contacted during the day was happy to be there and proud of their school. The interviews are almost completely conversational and pertained to you as an individual. I feel that the interviewers only wanted to get to know me. There was no stress! If you are serious about being an osteopathic doctor, this is the place to be. I did not come into contact with any negative people. Great experience-Great school! Also, I had a "glitch" with my luggage and the administration was extremely understanding and helpful in resolving the matter. They really make you feel "at home."
