What impressed you negatively?

"The students did not seem terribly enthusiastic about their school. They said they liked it - but weren't all that convincing - and had so-so things to say about their professors. There is no mannequin for heart/lung sounds (almost all schools have these) and no microscopes for histology. The curriculum is not organ based, it is by subject. AND, there are crucifixes everywhere - in all lecture halls and hospital rooms -- I'm not such a fan of this." Report Response
