What impressed you positively?

"PBL is great for some people. Building is new and surrounding area is nice. Great beaches nearby. OMM lab is great. Admissions folks are very nice." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"My PBL group wasn't very focused. Library is sparse; online access and copies of required texts are there, not much else.
