What do you like least?

"The school is purely focused on making dollars, couldn't care less about the students or faculty. Definitely talk to previous students or faculty before you agree to work or study here. I say this only to help" | Report Response

"Dean Crum is a misogynistic, racist, overly pompous tool who should not be a doctor much less a dean of a medical school. If you are white, pretty and/or willing to kiss his behind then you can do whatever you want with you repercussions. He’s fair at least, he treats both staff and students that way. He also just loves to talk down to everyone. During a meeting about the COVID-19 pandemic, he basically called all of the students a bunch of wimps if we wanted to go home instead of being stuck on Nevis. Guess what happened? His wife ,who is such a sweet lady and could do better, got tested positive and he had to close the school down because everyone figured it out. When two students died in a fire and the student body wanted to commemorate them, he slammed the door shut on any possibility of doing so. He’s nothing more than Trump in a white coat." | Report Response

Any other information you want to share?

"so many problems with this school I can't even begin. Definitely think twice before applying, do a lot of research" | Report Response

"Do your research and be prepared to fend for yourself. The school only cares about money and it’s “reputation”. Do not ask admin and ESPECIALLY not Crum for help. Don’t ask Kacker because he is too happy being Crum’s little lap dog." | Report Response
