What impressed you positively?

pretty quite town

What impressed you negatively?

that it is a "pretty quite town" -- ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO IN GALVESTON!!!! Imagine spending 4 or more years of your life trapped on Galvatrez. The student spend only about hours in lecture a day and the rest of the day is spent teaching YOURSELF how to doctor with PBL. THe curriculum is not structered enough and the student complain that they are SERIOUSLY lacking a pharmacology class to do well on USMLE. IF you are interested in doing well and performing high on the boards to get into good residency, be ready to do ALOT of research and learing on your own. I think that school puts too much responsibility on the student as if we don't have enough things to worry about.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is the oldest medical school in Texas... and they pretty much just live on thier legacy as being the first in Texas.... there is nothing much else for them to brag on... just my .02
