What impressed you positively?

Everybody was REALLY happy. Every student said hi to you or introduced themselves, asked questions, looked like they were having a good time, etc. The facilities are excellent, and quite new. The curriculum setup and the small amount of time spent in class, and more free study appealed to me. The area is great, I felt very safe, and I'm from one of the safest towns in the U.S.

What impressed you negatively?

Pretty much nothing. If you come in past 12:00am, the KCI airport shuttle is there, but they charge you 40 friggen bucks to the holiday inn because it becomes a personal cab passed 11:50pm. I felt like I bombed my interview pretty bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More about the curriculum, it's pretty sweet. I wish I would have read up on ethical issues, I had no clue.

What are your general comments?

Shuttle picked us up from the hotel, presentation on KCUMB and Osteopathy, tour of anatomy lab (sweet BTW), good lunch, interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
