What impressed you positively?

The culture of the campus. Everyone there loves the school and is proud to be a part of it. They preach it is a family, and it truly is. The entire day was full of opportunities to learn about the school and what it's like as a vet student. Even got to attend some classes - which were impressive in themselves. Like that they focus on success in business as well as success as a DVM.
