What impressed you positively?

The students were REALLY passionate about Mercer and the curriculum. They looked at everything positively, but still answered our questions very honestly. Small class size, so all the students know each other and their profs fairly well. Also, they showed us a real cadaver. It was awesome.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. We didn't get a tour of the hospital, which would have been cool, but the hospital cafeteria food was good at least!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

The staff was very nice and willing to help with anything. They all kept saying to be nice to everyone, including custodians, because word gets around!
