What impressed you positively?

The anatomy lab was completely odor-free and had windows. That was nice. Also, to me, the campus itself is not as bad as many say it is. It was nice of Dr. Haight to offer to change the day's schedule to accomodate us. The students that we did meet seemed somewhat happy. I liked the program, where the students got matched up with a pregnant woman and followed her throughout her pregnancy. That was pretty cool. Admissions staff were nice.

What impressed you negatively?

There were a couple of negatives about the school that I felt were quite prominent. We had barely gotten to speak with students that went to the school. It was quite frightening being that we had to make a make a decision whether to accept/reject an acceptance offer and put down a $2000 deposit within two weeks from the acceptance letter date. It was kind of sketchy when the tour guides merely pointed to the dormitories on the hill and did not show us the actual facilities. We didn't see the student union either. The interviewers were much harder on certain applicants for no reason. Also, since the interviews took place before lunch, you could tell that everyone was pretty hungry and the interviewers kept checking the clock or looking at their watches. I thought that was a somewhat rude. To me, the interview approach was uncomfortable. The structure of the interview undeniably fosters a competitive atmosphere, which is not appealing to me. The library is small and it seems like there is not much studying space available. The gym is just nasty.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

San Francisco is REALLY far from school. It MUST be at least an hour away. Well, maybe 45 minutes.

What are your general comments?

I had gotten a very negative impression of Touro. Please look at the negative impression question for more info. Although it was not as bad as many people make it out to be (yes, I have heard worse than what I had listed for the negative impression question), I know that I wouldn't be happy there. It may be a good school for some folks, but not me. Maybe Vegas will turn out better for Touro.
