What impressed you positively?

"Beautiful surrounding area. I think the surrounding area's woods is called the ''Lyman woods'' or something like that. The trees were colored in red, yellow, orange and green. Nice suburb feel. Decent campus. Has enough dorm if you want to live in one without an A/C. Disclosure of all the 3rd and 4th yr clinical sites in the greater Chicago area...which means this school is very established." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"7:45 AM-meet at the library (Littlejohn hall) 8:00 AM-split into 2 groups of 4-5 people group A-interview group B-financial aid presentation (sucks...she couldn't give you any useful info) 10:00 AM group B-interview group A-financial aid presentation 12:00 PM lunch then campus tour 1:30 PM dismissed. The admissions personnel were nice and informative. The buildings were nice (better than AZCOM). We didn't get to look at any dorm or on campus apartments. The curriculum appeared strong. The only downside to this school is extremely high budget (tuition+living cost+ books etc....) at $68K/yr and will rise 5% every year. " Report Response
