What impressed you negatively?

"The building on campus at NSU is older and more historical than other schools I have visited, but the clinic that is partnered with the school through the Cherokee nation is incredible and brand-new, so that does make-up for the older on-campus building where the classroom and administrative offices are."

"The school and class size is small, but that means more one-on-one time with your doctors and more hands-on experience in a lab or in the clinic with patients.
