SDN & the school website

What impressed you positively?

The amazing new facilities! Everything is brand new and high tech! The staff is also really nice and helpful!

What impressed you negatively?

That there is no teaching hospital and you generally only spend your first 2 years in Tallahassee. After that, you are assigned to a regional campus to do your clinicals at for the next 2 years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That all of the students were gone for Winter break. However 3 students were nice enough to come in and answer questions and give us the tour!

What are your general comments?

The interviewers were really nice and down to earth. It was a very relaxed conversation because they just want to get to know you. Be honest and don't say the ''textbook answer''.
