The staff were very open to answering questions, the campus and facilities are brand new, the area is safe, dog park and new housing for students

I did know thankfully but the interview portion is right when you get to campus
What are your general comments?
the students I talked to seemed genuinely happy there, there is a somewhat business casual dress code but not incredibly strict, the students mentioned a lot that the faculty change things around since they are a new school and are trying to get everything to function well but hear the students out, the cadaver lab is 6 to a table

None they did a really great job and were very personable!
