What are your general comments?

There were a lot of people there (~20). The day started at 9 when we got a spiel about the school, history of osteopathy, etc. We were then taken to the OMM lab and had a Q&A with 4 students who became our tour guides. We went to the micro lab, anatomy lab, library, research center, student areas, the Century Towers, and the new Clinical Competency Center. We ate lunch and then had our interviews. I was first in and left the school before 2pm.
