What impressed you positively?

EVERYONE at the school seemed very passionate, and excited to be there. The academic environment appeared non-competitive, and students have time to go out and have fun, instead of studying all the time. Mrs. Sullivan's speech was incredible.

What impressed you negatively?

$$$. Lecture halls & labs all in basement, fairly old.

How much I would like the school

What are your general comments?

Everyone at the school takes the notion of cura personalis to heart, and you can tell everyone is dedicated to the ideals of service and helping the less fortunate. This is a school where students aren't just trained to be competent physicians, but spend their times becoming well rounded people, which helps make it a less competitive, cooperative environment.
