"Before I visited I was had been told that the students weren't very happy and everyone was high-strung and stressed out. I did not find that to be the case at all.

Everyone seemed exceptionally friendly and relaxed." Report Response
"The facilities. The anatomy lab ''is awful'' according to students. At least it's a short course. They just received $30 million from the state to build a new building for the medical school. MS1s next year will be attending lectures in the new Pharmacy building. The rumors of being lecture intense seem to ring true, although I was quite impressed by the curriculum overall."

"Make sure you eat breakfast beforehand, they don't provide any food or drinks until lunch. Traffic wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The Free Clinic tour and dinner program is only offered certain days, so make sure you sign up and review the dates well in advance." Report Response
