I'm actually kinda surprised noone has started this topic yet, or that noone has come to the conclusion I have. At first the key cards for almost every single door at LECOM-E threw me off and I couldn't imagine why they would need that kind of security.

My opinion now is this: I think that the fact that this building (for the medical school part of the hospital at least) was built so recently has something to do with it. As a private hospital/school LECOM has to worry more than state insitutions about lawsuits bankrupting them. Because of the historically recent ability for trial lawyers to launch nuclear civil lawsuits at a whim LECOM has to protect themselves against as many possible liability issues as possible, whether that be a patient who breaks into the samples closet, eats them like candy, dies, and the family sues the school, a female student being assaulted on grounds, or someone who shouldn't even be in an area spilling hot coffee on their lap. The institution probably also needs insurance, and this will probably help their rates in that area as well. Orwellian, but cost-effective.

Agree/Disagree?

Is it just me or are those sculptures and paintings of the administration as Greek gods pretty creepy? I wouldn't say paranoid, I'd say delusional. Glad I chose WVSOM over LECOM...though that is my personal choice blah blah blah <insert your own p.c. mea culpa here>

Well....paranoia with delusions...paranoid schizophrenic....
Anyway, the schools a good school, the staff does a good job of getting ready, just cant say the administration isnt a little bizzarre.
My favorite are the mass emails from security and the lost and found....occasionally there is "a one dollar bill"....come on man....if you find a buck....its yours. How does one claim they lost a dollar?
 
I liked the school myself when I was there, and I heard great things about the education you'd get there. Plus I'm originally from Bradford, PA so I know the area, and have family there still. But when I flew in from Detroit to Erie to 12 degree weather with a 4 degree wind chill coming off the lake, I was just not feeling it. It was really hard to choose between LECOM and WVSOM, despite my interjection.

Are those sculptures in the building? That is really strange. Is it true that you can't go in the buidling afterhours either?

They are not there....havent gone in yet.
The building is open from 7am-11pm I think. (it was when I was in lectures there). Im not sure what you mean afterhours?
 
When I visited, I didn't understand why you had to swipe your card to get out of the weight room (that's what our tour guide said)...
...it kinda creeped me out.
