What impressed you positively?

I love this school. Everyone seemed very happy and was extremely nice. The school is very clean. There are 4 students per cadaver and the cadaver is not shared with other classes. The class size is small (108 students).

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really...;except that it was difficult to find a parking space.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known parking was going to be a problem. I drove around in circles for at least 20 minutes before a space became available. :(

What are your general comments?

I was interviewed by 2 people. One was a student. After the interview I observed a class for an hour. Once all the other interviews were completed, a tour of the school was given by students. After the tour we ate lunch in the cafeteria.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

parking pass for the day?
