What impressed you positively?

Absolutely everything! This school is already really good and you can tell they are devoted to getting better.

What impressed you negatively?

The lecture rooms are a little dingy but they are building a great new building. Also, I'm not really keen on not being guaranteed which campus you'll be at for years 3 and 4. Also, students there said that there is somewhat of an overcompetitive atmosphere.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The clinical facilities at UAB are incredibly enormous. There is so much to get involved with professionally.

What are your general comments?

To be honest, I did not know a lot about UAB before going, but I left with a huge smile. This school has everything going for it. The faculty and interviewers were all nice. the student led tour was great, my tour guide happily answered every question and seemed to really love her time there. It is definitely one of my top choices now.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
