What impressed you positively?

"Beautiful campus, undergrad life, academic and athletic facilities. Big anatomy and OMM lab. Cool robots to practice on. They have an alternate learning track called the Doctor Patient Continuum, where students work together in groups of 10 and are required to teach themselves and each other instead of learning in lecture halls."

"Tuition. Small Osteopathic library, but main library is fine. Lunch consisted of yogurt, granola bars, and weird muffins. Osteopathic cafeteria is small.
