What impressed you positively?
Podiatry is the top program there, so students are very close-knit. They have a lot of scholarships tho.
What impressed you negatively?
Located in downtown Oakland. Not safe. Board pass rates are not very impressive (poor students or poor curriculum?). Small and old facilities. Gym is the size of my bedroom.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How old/crammed together the buildings in Bay area are. It's almost like a version of NYC with less people. Living on top of each other. If that's what your used to, you won't mind it at all.
