What impressed you positively?

"The school is beautiful. The campus buildings have an "old" ivy league feeling to them like you're at Georgetown or Harvard... until you get inside anyway. The surrounding area is pretty in the fact that its in the mountains. The facilities are nice, one of the best anatomy labs I've seen. I loved the group lecture halls and the fact that every student had a little personalized desk area for lectures and study time. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The school is in the middle of nowhere and the students reflect that. One of the interviewers even bragged that he was born and raised in Lewisburg and had lived there his whole life. I wondered how anyone could stay in that town for so long. Also, the tuition is way too high." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That there is very little culture or diversity amongst the students or the town in general." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The school and the facilities are nice. The campus is beautiful and I love the serenity of a mountain town, however I don't see myself fitting into such an isolated place. Maybe because I live in a city I'm used to more diversity, but diversity is something that is important to me and I think beneficial to anyone who wants to be a doctor. The fact that students get shipped out to even more isolated areas of WV for their 3rd and 4th year scares me even more. The tuition is way too high, even for a really great program. I would have to seriously weigh my options if I chose to go to school here over anywhere else." Report Response
