What impressed you positively?

"The awesome facilities--nearly the entire school is newly rennovated, and there are so many chairs for the 3rd and 4th years. The preclinic lab was open, and the air filteration in the room is top notch. All the 2nd years were in there doing work, and the room had no smell whatsoever. ALSO, the students seemed focused, intelligent, and friendly. UAB does very well on its boards, and is part of the biggest health complex thing (8 hospitals in one area) in the southeast." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?
