What impressed you positively?

The dedication and friendliness of the admissions staff and faculty. They all seemed genuinely excited and happy about their school. Also, the anatomy lab is brand new and amazing (not smelly!) The students seemed to be happy, as well.

What impressed you negatively?

The current facilities are in part of a community college and are very limited. The student panel mentioned that they didn't have a student lounge or anywhere to congregate and relax. Also, the student tour guide said that there wasn't much research going on at yet.
