P/F with no mandatory attendance and everything is recorded. Scheduling is also great with exams typically scheduled on Fridays allowing us to take full weekends off and we're given 9 weeks for dedicated period this year.

What do you like least?
-
Very restrictive and harsh policies. They say classes are not mandatory in their syllabus and MSAR but they micromanage you and your attendance. The live sessions are mostly a waste of time for people who don't learn through team based learning and sometimes they make us end class at like 5:30.
-
The amount of TBL type exercises which are being mandated by the LCME. They dropped off a lot second year and its gotten much better
-
Bare bones program. Enormous class size leads to lottery system in rotations. Poorly run business class. Adversarial relationship at times between faculty and students.
-
The cafeteria food.
