What impressed you positively?

The school seems very professional and has their med school/nursing/pharmacy/etc. right across the street. The facilities look very nice and they're proud of their 80-chair sim lab. They have some good research opportunities and specialties available. All the students I met felt good about the quality of the education they were receiving.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing negative really about the school. Pittsburgh, the city, has very cold weather and lots of hills to walk up, which may deter some people. It's a pretty isolated city but it seems self-sufficient in terms of social activities and there's lots of universities around; decent college town. The tuition is fairly high but not so bad for in-state.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Very respectable school, only question should be whether or not you're comfortable with the city and tuition.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
