What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really nice and extremely helpful. The facilities are very new. They have either the first or second highest COMLEX pass rate among schools.

What impressed you negatively?

The buildings are kind of far apart and the actual school is set back a little bit from the Phoenix/Glendale city life.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I'm terrified of bees and there are Africanized honeybees there...lol. Also, I didn't realize that it was not a completely problem-based learning approach--it's both PBL and didactic.

What are your general comments?

It was a great day! It lasted from 8-2:30. There is a good amount of time sitting waiting for your interview. The students were all really nice and it was not a hard-core environment at all. The interviewers were really nice and nothing seemed to catch me off guard.
