The school is absolutely stellar in its technology, faculty, curriculum, clinical opportunities! This is a school that is truly working for the students and is doing whatever it takes to make it the very best it can be!

What impressed you negatively?

Very little to do in Harrogate.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had realized what an amazing facility DCOM is!!

What are your general comments?

After seeing and experiencing DCOM at my interview, this school has become my top choice! The location is about as rural as it comes, but the mountainous setting, top notch facility and extremely enthusiastic and dedicated faculty and students have sold me on this school. Also, you should go to Oasis for pizza with the students the night before your interview. It was very relaxed, very helpful and Dr. Stowers (Dean of the medical school) stopped by to say hello, which was very cool!
