What impressed you positively?

I definitely came to the school thinking I was not going to be impressed but I was pleasantly surprised. The location is great, Norfolk is beautiful! I'm from NOVA and I def. did not expect much from a place in southern Virginia, but it's really pretty. The students are SO friendly, I definitely felt like I would fit in with everyone else. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed. Very community oriented school and the curriculum is very patient oriented. Clinical exposure starts very early!
