The Absolute openness and friendliness of the staff and students. The Admissions staff were completely open and wanted you to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. They really went out on a limb to make you feel wanted.

What impressed you negatively?

One of the tours was for the research department, as I'm not much interested in reseach, it did not interest me much.

I thought that the clinical aspects were limited with this school, and I found out afterwards that there is actually great diversity and several clinical sites to utilize and explore. Not only this, but the clinical sites are expanding and will have some very impressive new facilities by the time that I would be there.

With it's friendly and personal environment, emphasized with the small class sizes, I can definitely see myself being happy here.
