"There's not a lot of science research opportunities available on campus, however they do offer a lot of clinical research." | Report Response

"Mostly great." | Report Response

"The pre-clinical faculty are amazing. They aren't here to be researchers and forced to teach on the side. They are very student-centered and actually care about how you are doing. They all have an open-door policy when it comes to talking with them. If they are in their office, 95% of the time they will sit down with you and talk about whatever you want for as long as they can." | Report Response

"Mostly great." | Report Response
