What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I read that students from every discipline of health at the school would work together, but they really don't. The basic science courses are crammed into the first semester, so it makes for a hard first semester. After that, students start dealing with assessments of the human body. It was finals week, so we didn't get a chance to talk with the MS I's. Western professors don't do research." Report Response

What are your general comments?
