What are your general comments?
LECOM is a great school. The rules are pretty strict, and the LDP students seemed visibly more tired and generally unenthusiastic. That being said, the education seemed quite good and the location was close to housing, hospitals, and is nice and quite so you can focus on studying. I would like to see them record lectures for students and provide more DSP spots.
