fantastic medical school. great for any healthcare field.
Bad reviews
Overall 2
Students are uniformly overworked and stressed out no matter what the program. There is a lack of compassion and caring on the part of administration and professors. Student lounge is too small and the lunch area (microwaves and refrigerators) is so tiny that there is a line out the door at lunch hour. I would go elsewhere if I had to do it again.
