What impressed you positively?

the energy of the students was very encouraging... i had doubts about the school being new and having a new curriculum, but the students were all very positive about it... i was totally sold on the school

What impressed you negatively?

no dissection, only prosection... they try to plug you into a CHC... seems like they want a specific type of physician and that's it.... the CHC emphasis probably won't help you if you want to specialize in something else
