What are your general comments?
All students and faculty are very friendly and helpful. The administrative office seems to be one of the most organized and well run I have seen for any school. An interview was given to me within 10days of submitting my secondary and a decision on my application was made within a week of my interview.
Overall the hospital network was smaller than Louisville, but UK seemed to have a stronger sense of community. Louisville is by far a more diverse city, but UK has a better campus.
