"The school is totally dilapitated. The student tour guides knew nothing about the school. One student told me he only studies 1 hour/day, and "plays video games" on the weekends....and he gets straight A's. Must be a rigorous curriculum! The lecture hall that students spedn their 1st year in is falling apart. The anatomy lab is hidden in the basement and is completely cramped." Report Response
