"The MD program is very good at teaching all the pertinent information while incorporating PBL, Labs, and activities to increase learning by offering tutoring. The island is small, but Houston is only 45 minutes away. I feel that my program is fully preparing me for my career."

"My graduate program is very time consuming and includes in depth learning. The faculty is all supportive of students, help in any way they can, and are extremely knowledgeable in the subject matter. Most doctoral programs are going to be challenging, DPT school is no different. Students in this program must sacrifice the majority of their free time and acknowledge the fact that they are more likely than not going to accumulate large amounts of debt simultaneously. The curriculum is organized in a sequential manner that compliment other classes taken each semester. Any new technology the school can use effectively to help students learn seems to be taken into consideration for the budget, as everything is very up to date. The location of my school is not the safest location in Texas, but it is convenient to be a short distance to Houston."

"UTMB School of Medicine in great. There is extreme diversity in both faculty and staff. It is very family-oriented, and there are endless resources to help students with whatever they need. It is also in a beach town, so students can relax by the beach to de-stress from coursework. On the other hand, with Galveston being a beach town, the tourists are ALWAYS around. This means that traffic is usually horrible on weekends and all throughout summer so getting around the island can be annoying. The only other con about UTMB is the large class sizes. There are 230+ students in each class. On the other hand, lectures are recorded, which eases the large amount of people in the lecture hall at a given time."
