By far, the students and faculty! I would not be lying if I said that 90% of the students we saw on campus stopped and asked us how the day was going. You just got a real warm sense about the place. Noboday was "out to get" anyboday esle. Even after the interview, I was invited downtown with a bunch of student to celebrate my interview and them just getting done with a major histo exam. Also, I like the severe emphasis on PATIENT care and not treating a diease. They told us they are very strict on the small things that matter - for instance warming up an instrument before you place it on the patient, telling him/her what you are doing, how to just listen, things like that. The school itself is the second biggest osteopathic school, however, it is not affiliated with another BIG unversity which makes the campus seem intimate. Drake College is just down the street and the 2 schools often plan activities together - for instance the Malpractice Bowl which is a week long seris of events ended with a formal put on by the medical students of DMU and law students of Drake. All in all, I just like the school.
So you are from Woodbury? I go to school in River Falls!! A bunch of my friends are from Woodbury too. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Maybe we could even meet at Barnes and Noble for a coffee and to chat about DMU or admissions in general.
Hope this helps,
