I was impressed with how accomodating Dr. Hinkley and his admissions staff were. The students showed alot of dedication and pride toward their school by making themselves available even when they had an anatomy exam. The facilities are wonderful and the curriculum sounds great. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

They don't have much for breakfast- I wish I would've eaten ahead of time.
