What impressed you positively?

People seemed really happy and friendly, students seem to be given a fair amount of responsibility in clinics, their spay/neuter program that gives students a lot of opportunity to practice

What are your general comments?

Almost every female I saw was wearing a pant or skirt-suit. I wore a blazer and dress pants and felt fine but I wouldn't go much more casual than that. Male outfits were a little more varied.
