Current DPT students, which program do you currently attend and are you happy with your decision? Would you honestly recommend your program to others applying?
I currently attend LLU right now. It's been 5 weeks and I been loving it. I love my campus cause its a faith based school. So seeing things eye to eye on religion and faith plays a big role for me. I also love how my school doesn't force religion down your throat. All my professors are helpful, funny, and intelligent. I would recommend anyone (non religious or religious) to my school. Our school does not discriminate, we respect everyone's own life and background.
And yes, I would also recommend my school. It has a campus feel and the classes aren't just confined to one building. I appreciate this because it makes it feel less like a prison . it's always nice to breathe some fresh air and enjoy the great outdoors between classes. The professors are great, we have a few fellows on our faculty which is awesome. I like the community feel of the school. It's strictly a healthcare campus so its nice to talk with students from other professions and build those relationships. The different classes of pt students also mingle quite a bit, which is a definite plus in that they are always there and willing to answer questions/concerns.
long time no talk, how are you liking pt school so far? I feel like I've been in school for a year and it's only been two months lol. What classes are you taking?
Nicolej5! My virtual pen pal . I been loving every moment. Except the times Im studying the night before my test haha. I love my professors, cohort, campus, and the lifestyle of Loma Linda. Serious! I feel like its been a long @ss time but its only been 7 weeks. I just got done with my 9 unit intense anatomy course (1st half of the quarter and im going to be taking kinisology, muscle manual testing, and death and dying psychology course (2nd half of the quarter). Anatomy was pretty intense haha. But I feel like I know the human body in another lvl. So much information with so little time. I cant wait to start Manual Muscle Testing soon. How about you? What classes are you in? I literally have no time. I used to check student doctor like every other minute... now its once for every 3 weeks haha.
I was also accepted at Midwestern University and Northwestern University. However, the debt that I would incur at those institutions was far too large for me to justify going there. There are many factors that should go into your decision when choosing a program but cost should be near the top of your list.
Yes. Hands down.
I go to Rosalind Franklin and absolutely love it. Would recommend it over and over again to anyone I know.
Wait until you get past your first year, bud. Much less past just learning how to adjust assistive devices and draping. It's not all bunnies and rainbows. For example, our clinical education is complete crap.
I find it pretty hard to gather information on clinical sites, how many they have, what the competition is like, etc. Do you have any advice on how to get a better sense other than asking current students? I guess that's always a good question to ask during the interview process.
What are your thoughts and other people's thoughts on schools that require at least one clinical to be out of town?
