"I really enjoyed the flexibility. PBL is ok. Having to come to school in the middle of the day really messed up my schedule. I would rather finish everything in morning and get home ASAP to start studying. Library worked like Propofol and knocked me out (I can literally only study at home or coffee shop). Good area. Lots of fun stuff to do on time off. I really didn't like how they forbade review books and they basically said "you can only use your PBL textbooks." Almost everyone ignored that and benefited from doing so. Hardly any research opportunities. Have to look hard in other places for a possible publication. Dress code-meh. Assigned seating (what am I 6 years old?). Clinical exam-basically tests your ability to memorize the entire textbook and not so much clinical skills. Basically learn how you want. PBL is good but you only get how much you get out of it. There are so many review material and question banks that a lot of time can be wasted just searching for the right one. I looked at a lot because there were almost no powerpoints. Overall-you're becoming a physician no matter which school. Just enjoy it as best you can and come out of it with a degree." | Report Response

"great for board scores, terrible for clinical years. you will receive minimal support in finding and securing rotations and those rotations will very likley require that you to live in several places through 3rd and 4th year. communication from the school is atrocious, vague and always threatening delaying your graduation (which is in June and required without exceptions)." | Report Response
