Good reviews
Overall 4.2
Great school, in a very sketchy neighborhood, but school's overall safety is great, 24/7 security monitoring, and school housing/parking lots are also monitored with a patrol car. All doors require badge entry, and some areas require multiple badge swipes. I have had a great time socially and with happiness.

I hate this school so much. I wish I had either A) kept on with my M.D. or B) Gone to SCUHS where my sister went.
Overall 1.8
I came to Palmer because of the past 2 generations of DC's in my family. We plan on sending future family members to a school that embraces chiropractic and doesn't just deliver the pretense of it through a document on their website.

For the price, the school can do so much more. Great history, but VERY money driven.
Overall 2
way over-hyped and not worth the money we shell out for non-teaching teachers!
