It was affordable but also a great school. It is also only a 4-5 hour drive from my hometown. The medical and pre-medical programs at this school are top class. This school is also one of the leading research institutions.
Course Curriculum
I believe some professors are not there to provide success but others are very helpful. I also think that the curriculum can sometimes feel useless and like a right of passage before medical school. It does help when professors make the material interesting and not just make us memorize everything.
Exams
I only took the ACT. I have taken university-level midterms and finals and usually received an A or B.
Fees
$14,000 for tuition. If you stay on campus for housing, the fees are around an extra $8,000. Books are about $500, and other fees for food and such are about $2000.
Examination Structure
It depends on the class you are taking an exam. Some exams are multiple choice others are written and others are essays. Each one tests different skills and also can depend on the professor. Some professors make it seem like their goal to fail students.
Faculty
I would say some are great and some are only there for their research. This can be a good opportunity for students to learn and be involved in research, but when these professors teach classes they often don't care much about the students or their success.
