What impressed you positively?
Students are enthusiastic
What impressed you negatively?
There are EIGHT people per anatomy group. I think four is really the max for learning well, and most schools have four. I don't see how you can learn intricate body parts and all get to participate with EIGHT people. My tourguide told me that it saved the anatomy dept. money and even though they paid ahead tuition they got no refund for the decrease in cadavers, weird and yuck...
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Cafeteria food is bad, packed my own lunch.
What are your general comments?
Very laid back, Richmond is okay, not cultural paradise but decent. Goodluck finding parking near the school! Prepare to walk up a big hill or pay the parking deck.
