What impressed you positively?

"The fact that the school is situated right in the city where there is a major hospital within walking distance. That the students who conducted the interview were happy with the school even though it is relatively new. That the clinical rotations are scheduled to be coordinated through the school. That it is a real city where you will see a heterogeneous mix of individuals and professionals walking about. That the class size is around 75 students and there is a lot of interaction as we were told by students and professors since they want this school to succeed." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"It is in the city and that can be expensive to live there in terms of rent. At the same time, you can walk anywhere. That it is perhaps going to be too much money to have a car because of parking. The fact that some of the class rooms don't look as up to date as other schools with wi-fi and outlet plugs. Doesn't look like students need lab tops during lecture." Report Response
