I was extremely impressed when I came to UF COM. The students, faculty, and staff are kind and willing to answer questions. I learned everything that I wanted to know and more. The day was filled with activities and each served a unique purpose. I especially enjoyed the STAN demonstration, the chat in the Maren reading room, and the tour of Shands Hospital. I felt at ease throughout the day.
