What are your general comments?
Overall, I was a little intimidated by the city at first. However, this diminished once I had the opportunity to talk to students attending NYCPM. I found that student, faculty, and staff were very enthusiastic about this institution. While the school is an older facility, the admission's staff informed me that the school is continuing to renovate various classrooms. Eventually the clinic will also be updated as well.
