Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everyone I met at LLU was very friendly and very welcoming. In the elevator, the dean of student affairs struck up a conversation with me and walked me to the admissions office. All of the students and faculty seem to love it there, and the school in general really has a lot of opportunities to offer (early and extensive clinical experience, service learning/mission trips, research, great residency programs, etc.).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The campus itself is nice, but the surrounding area doesn't seem to be the best. The experience I had at LLU, though, definitely overrides the area.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was lucky enough to find out about it, but everyone should be aware that they have you write a short essay upon arrival. You get to choose from either of the two prompts: describe your social network that provides you with personal support, or describe your spiritual journey and your relationship with God.
