looked at UMDNJ website, SDN, spoke with students from the school

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed that the school had a hospital on campus. Also, the students were super friendly and willing to answer any questions. The admissions staff that we met were also very amiable. The facilities were nice as well. It also seems like there are ample research opportunities available. The cafeteria food was rather good, compared to other schools that I have visited. Tuition cost is low! (^__^)

What impressed you negatively?

Right now, they don't have an OMM lab and practice in some sort of multi-purpose room with an indoor track right above it. I think that they're building a new state-of-the-art OMM lab so that will probably be resolved. The histology lab has a strange smell to it that no other school that I've been to has. The gym was adequate, but it was rather small and you have to pay for it. The area seem as safe as I thought that it would be.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The area seem as safe as I thought that it would be. Also, I didn't know that they had an osteopathic hospital right on campus.

What are your general comments?

I was very happy with my visit to UMDNJ-SOM. It seems that they have a very solid program with a supportive atmosphere.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
