Edward Via - Carolinas (VCOM-CC) Discussion Thread 2013 - 2014

Hey all, I have an interview here next month. Which hotel do you guys recommend?

Hey Aqua,

There are lots of hotel options in Spartanburg. If you are flying in and don't want to hire a car, the Hampton Inn provides shuttles (at least they did last year). If you are driving, i would perhaps suggest looking on priceline and finding something that might be cheaper. I drove in to town for my interview and to try save money i stayed at the howard johnson. It wasn't the best, but was clean, comfortable and less than half the price of some of the bigger hotels.

Here is a link to some of the hotels that VCOM gets a discount on...

Good luck on your interview! VCOM is a great school! If you have any questions, let me know!

Any current VCOM students out there? I have a question for you.
Can you comment on how accessible the faculty are at the Carolina campus? So I am asking if it is easy to meet with them if you have questions or need any other help related to the class they teach.

My question is about the curriculum. I know the first 2 years are broken up into blocks, I was wondering how current students prepared for the COMLEX exam. My concern is that as I progress through the blocks I will become less familiar with the content covered in the earlier blocks. Is there a connection to previously covered blocks that I am not seeing? Or is it just the responsibility of the student to review before block 8?
