The area is not horrible but it's not that great either. The students said they never felt unsafe but it is not in the safest part of town.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is a clinical skills center but they don't really use it yet because it's so new.

What are your general comments?

Overall I liked the school but the actual interview was only ok. It was really short and most of the time was left for me to ask questions. I felt that the interview didn't allow them to get to know me very well but the tour and the students were really nice. I liked the cooperative learning atmosphere.
