"The facilities and technology were awesome. The staff was also very friendly, warm, and excited to have us there. The anatomy lab and software is the best I've seen so far." Report Response
"The town of Blacksburg and the VCOM cafeteria. I come from a small city and Blacksburg just wasn't a good fit for me. I don't like the rural aspect that you are so far aways from everything but know what works for you. I was disappointed with the cafeteria because it really isn't a cafeteria, more of a sandwich shop. The food was edible but it wasn't great. But it was free so I can't complain too much."

"I was pretty familiar with the school so I have to say nothing I discovered that I didn't know. I would advise that you find out when you would have to pay your $1,000 acceptance fee before you interview. " Report Response
"The interview is pretty much like everyone else has already said. Laid back and they really stress that you have nothing to be nervous about you. They also really stress how much they want to get to know you as a person. I was a little upset that my first interview was over in 15 min which meant I had to wait 20+ minutes for the next one which started late. But they were mostly like having a conversation than the interviewer drilling you with questions. They are really big on how much technology they have and the smart boards are the coolest thing I have ever seen (and only seen it at VCOM). They tell you they don't play games with the interviews either. We were told if all of us are good, we get accepted but they don't interview a certain number and only accept a certain % of the group. I'm not sure how I feel with not having practical labs for histology and microbiology but I guess it's not a huge deal. Overall, fairly stressless experience as interviews go." Report Response
