What impressed you positively?

School is really big on making sure you also get to live life outside of medical school. Powell's bookstore is awesome!" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Many of the students are married and/or have kids which means that it might be harder to hang out with classmates and be immature with them. (Can be a pro or con I guess). There isn't really anything on the hill where the school is located, so you have to descend into the city to get anything." Report Response
