"-Lectures are not oriented towards "high-yield only material," so integrating proper USMLE review is really on your own time. -Current (pre-2018) facilities are a bit run down. -Residencies associated with the university are going through a change to revamp quality. However as a medical student, this won't effect you too much." | Report Response

"Very little support to the student. Blacking on things that student did not do or was right. Office of medical education was terrible" | Report Response
