What impressed you positively?

The campus has a great OMM program. The facilities are among the best. The people were very midwest, meaning polite and eager to talk and laugh with anyone who will listen. Some students came in and did a demonstration of OMM on a staff member. They mentioned that the second year students choose as a whole class what prep course for the COMLEX 1 boards they want and the university pays for it (600 dollars a head usually).

What impressed you negatively?

They did not have a session on finance.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No on campus appartments. Although there are many apartments in the area, there are none solely for DMU students.

What are your general comments?

The students and staff are enthusiastic about being there and having you there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
