What impressed you positively?

I was made to feel like they really wanted me to be there. The interview groups were small and intimate, creating a more family style environment. They have an IMPRESSIVE program, there is not question why this is the "Cradle of Osteopathic Medicine". The staff were extremely genuine, and accomodating. The admissions staff demonstrated a laid back professional style, indicating that they were proficient at their jobs, and happy to be doing it. The med students were forthright, and honest, and objective. They provided and objective yet positive view of life in school as well as life in a small town in Missouri.

What impressed you negatively?

Kirskville is a small town. It's population is about 17000 and is surrounded by large farms. This puts it at least 1.5 hours from the largest city which is Columbia, MO. You won't find a mall here, nor will you find any major facilities that you would normally find in a large town. This is your typicall small town environment that is common in the midwest. Though I put this in the negative part, it may very well be a positive for some people. I actually like the small town environment. It's great for focusing you on the studies at hand. It does get cold there, the average temp in JAN is around 11 degrees. I grew up in MO, so I'm pretty used to the weather, however some people that come from warmer climates may have problems. However I believe that for most, the prestige of the school, it's outstanding program, student satisfaction and excellent faculty can more than make up for the relative negatives found in the lack of services in the community.

What are your general comments?

Very positive experience, they really make you feel like you are wanted. The campus is well thought out, and the commute from the surrounding housing areas is very short. Though the town leaves much to be desired (if you are coming from a large metropolitan area) Kirksville is the PERFECT place to learn and practice primary care. This is the home and birthplace of osteopathic and primary medicine. You just gotta learn to take the good with the bad.
