SDN, school website

What impressed you positively?

curriculum (no, I mean really, I'm in love) and the fact that all lectures are taped, and the additional tutoring available, and the noncompetetive vibe I picked up.

What impressed you negatively?

Short time spent on gross anatomy in PIL track

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The shuttle has to be arranged, way, way, in advance...I was forced to take a taxi, ouch. Oh, and yeah, Holiday-Inn no longer offers shuttle to Drexel, something that I found out the day of my arrival although I check with them several weeks prior. So call couple days before and verify in any case.
