"I like that they have "gone green" giving you any information you need (financial aid powerpoint, welcoming powerpoint, about Louisville powerpoint) on a flashdrive. That helped eliminate the need to write things down as well as allowed you to pay attention. The lunch was just so-so. I maybe would have had a greater variety of sandwiches."

"The lab faculty members are amazing. They are all incredibly approachable and helpful." | Report Response
"Poor administration and lack of hearing student inputs. The administration is so disconnected from faculty and students. Clinically there are not enough chairs to get any procedures done. The administration knows this and simply does not do anything. Half of our class has not done one operative and we have been in clinic for 6 months. We have asked for class to be given to us remotely during our break due to coronavirus; yet, the dean and administration waited well over 3 months and left us with nothing to do as we paid tuition. Our classes this year were previous recordings of lectures from prior years. I would STRONGLY reconsider going to this school. Our class was unsatisfied before coronavirus and is still upset at the quality of education at this school. Also, tuition prices are not accurate. Out of state is about 85k plus a mandatory 7k instrument fee when they do not allow you to check materials out and limit how much you can use. " | Report Response
"The administration was terrible before COVID and has since become even worse. They have shut down after school labs (previously we had 24/7 hr access), dramatically reduced time spent in lab classes, refused to move classes around to allow more lab time, or address professors who have no ability to run blackboard let alone an online class. Current 4th year students lost 3 months of clinic time, yet no effort was made to make up for this lost experience and absolutely no refunds were issued. Again, faculty are great but it seems administration does not care about the education of their students." | Report Response
