"SDN, School Website" Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"Location, the students seemed really supportive of one another, and they seemed to enjoy being there, even though all the first years had a big exam the next day" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Turns out what they mean by 'integrative approach' to first year sciences means that the separate biochem, anatomy, and histology classes all result in a single grade. Also, there is very little interaction with real patients and the real medical community until 2nd year. And even with that, it's not impressive." Report Response

"That I was going to get cut off in most of my answers before I could tell them the best parts!" Report Response
