What impressed you positively?

The students absolutely love the school. I was VERY impressed with the newly redone clinical simulation facilities. They are all bright, spacious, and technologically advanced. I was also impressed with the students level of contentment with the school - they boasted a high level of administrative feedback and responsiveness to student issues and their general happiness at the school (being happy at med school is not something to be taken lightly!)

What impressed you negatively?

The area adjacent to the school. You do not go to the areas adjacent to the school. However, on a positive note, the hospital boasts it gets 1.5 (on average) fatal cases a day - so a lot of good ER experience. :)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Very positive. I surprised myself with how much I liked the school - the students were friendly, happy, and managed their study time with ease.
