"chill vibe amongst students. Non-mandatory attendance, P/F with NBME exams (the perfect trifecta). Matches quite well for lower tier school"| Report Response

"Collaborative student body with a great sense of community.Pass/Fail years 1&2Attendance is not required for most things.Matches well every year, usually a bit above it's weight class."| Report Response

"Location was great, excellent academic support (good prep for USMLE), and very strong match list."| Report Response

"The environment is very welcoming, students work together to help each other. The free clinic is also right across campus and is a very rewarding place to volunteer at."| Report Response

"Community atmosphere (literally no gunners); ample research opportunity; situated in a quiet area but close enough to two great cities (Chicago and Milwaukee); no school hospital system means a wide variety of rotations all around Chicagoland (you get to see a wide spectrum of patients); fantastic professors"| Report Response

What do you like least?

"Cost, weather, no central hospital so rotations are a little scattered throughout Chicagoland"| Report Response

"Clinical rotations are not at a single hospital."| Report Response

"The rotations are far away from campus, which means we have to move before our 3rd year."| Report Response

"not a ton to do around the school going out wise; drive into Chicago when visiting can get annoying; you need a car"| Report Response

"No money. Seriously. This school has no money."| Report Response
