What impressed you positively?

Campus is wonderful and south Florida is great. The students all seemed very enthusiastic. The Dean was a real character. The 3rd & 4th year rotations seemed really well organized.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, if I had to choose anything maybe the large class size.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be a fire drill in the middle of the Dean's talk requiring us to all evacuate the building hahaha.

What are your general comments?

Overall I really like the school and the location. The beach was better than SoCal. I think I would be happy and do well here. School is large and has more of a university feel than the other DO schools I've interviewed at. Research and OMM fellowships seem interesting.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
