What are your general comments?
Tuition here is insanely expensive compared to other DO schools (almost $52,000 vs the ~$40,000's average elsewhere), which would not be a problem if this school was exceptional, but it is not. I was told that professors here are OK (not awesome), and location is in terrible part of WA known for high crime and gang activity.
