What impressed you positively?

the friendliness and happiness among students and faculty

What impressed you negatively?

It is a strong probability that you will have to move from year to year, as rentals often exclude summer months. Also, you have to set up some of your own 3rd and 4th year clerkships - and the others were probably going to be out of state.

What are your general comments?

UNECOM is probably the best school if you want to go into primary care in a rural setting. Interviews were relaxed. One professor and one second year medical student interviewed me. The student was the more strict of the two, but both were friendly and professional. Students loved their school, and were very close and helpful to one another.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
