"It's nice to have all of Dr. Goljan's videos and lectures and exam question packets" | Report Response

"This was a really good school when I applied/matriculated. Some bad elements, but mostly top tier. When they almost lost the hospital, and virtually all of the residents jumped ship, almost all of the good people left. The people who remained are the corrupt people, and they brought on more corrupt people. The ONLY reason to go to this school currently would be because Dr Goljan teaches there." | Report Response
