What are your general comments?
I was very impressed! Random students who I'd never met were genuinely friendly and seemed very honest about what they liked AND didn't like about studying optometry. I didn't feel like it was an infomercial or anything like that!
ALSO, Holiday Inn Express, Medical Center is 2 blocks away from the school. It was SO nice not having to wait for a taxi when I was ready to go interview!
