What impressed you positively?

"UF has so many innovative programs and opportunities for students. During the first year you get off for a month to shadow a doctor and the students do mission trips. Also there is the Arts in Medicine program and a free outreach clinic run by students. UF gives students the opportunity to garner more research experience by changing around some classes and now the campus has wireless internet throughout the facility. Everybody was supernice and laid back, including the other interviewees. " Report Response
