Everyone was SO nice! LECOM has great pathways for different styles of learning. The school is in a gorgeous location. The mandatory professional dress-code makes everyone look nice. Building was in great shape and labs were big!

What impressed you negatively?

First year anatomy class is large so they have an overflow room for lectures. not such a big deal though.

They have you read an article which they ask you about at the end of the interview. It wasn't a hard read just a little surprising that they make you do that.
