Hey everyone,
I've been a student here for 2 years now and so I was looking back thinking about what it was like as an undergrad. One of the most valuable inputs I got into my decision about which school go to was by asking random students what they thought of their school. I was surprised how honest some were! It's always real nice how each school has hosts to show you around the school but their information was always biased.
Most everyone has probably already made up their mind but you should really be thinking about this one. Remember, this school you pick will be teaching you the techniques and styles you will be using for the rest of your life. Unfortunately even though technology continues to grow, often optometrists don't seem to want to change their style, so they need to start out right.
One last thing, remember that it is the individuals at the school that make it what it is. Logos and names are nice but a professor that can teach about thick prisms well or a good anatomy instructor is worth much more than saving some money in tuition. Good luck in your choices. Anyone else have anything to add?
