What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff knows everyone--even the janitors and all the students. Also the gross anatomy lab is great. The campus is very uniform (all the same brick and architecture) it is a very pretty campus. It helped that is was 75 and sunny that day.

What impressed you negatively?

I had lunch with second year students that I did not have very much in common with. It made lunch kind of boring.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you get accepted you have to put down about $3000 (out of state) before you matriculate ($2000 in Dec and another $1000 in March) You cannot get financial aid for this.

What are your general comments?

The school is really small and friendly. The problem-based learning track is new and very cool. The facilities are all relatively new and updated. The staff and faculty were very friendly. Oh, and the town closes down at 6pm. Also, there are not many sidewalks and absolutely no edge to the road so if you decide to go for a run or walk--stick to the downtown area where there are sidewalks!
