What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?

Building a new building, but the plugs in the preclinical lecture halls don't work and you sit there for hours a day. Parking is also ridiculous at times for commuters.

How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?

Predominantly primary care. Lots match and work in the south.

What are rotations like?

There are hub sites that you get assigned to. These are in MS, LA, and NY. You'll have to travel back 3 times in OMS-3 for Clinical exams. You get a vacation block. You can do an international rotation or research rotation.

How do students from this program do in the Match?

20 SOAPS this year. There was an ortho match.

Any other information you want to share?

Lots of faculty leaving or getting close to it. We already had 2 deans go. Class sizes are getting bigger, but it seems ill managed. Also, people got super competitive this year in the preclinical classes. Some things that happened this year: someone left a dead turtle on someone car, constant cheating scandals, etc. Most of these students just got a talking to, but they continue onward. I'm disappointed in the unprofessional environment of a graduate program.
