What impressed you positively?

The people at the school where incredibly welcoming. They did a great job making us feel special and recruited. I alos really LOVED their new facility they just built for health sciences. It has state-of-the-art compounding rooms as well as fully equipped mock pharmacies! Really nice set up. Also the staff and first year students we got to talk to were really down to earth. The school also offers you to get in-state tuition after your first year if you apply for residency! Great facilities at a incredible price!!!
