I am very dismayed with the extremely unpleasantly "reception" I was given as a prospective student. I drove to the campus on my off day in an effort to speak with students during their lunch hour, something I have done at about a half a dozen other campuses in the last 8 months. I did not have an appointment and was told by security I could not walk inside the building unescorted or go to the student lunch area upstairs. Fair enough. They contacted admissions at my request to see if an exception could be made for the lunch hour but I was denied. I exited the building and walked around to look at the campus before approaching a few students sitting outside to ask about their experiences. After a few minutes, I was approached by a security guard who wanted to know if I was a student. When I answered I was not, I was told I had to leave the premises immediately, asked for my ID to photograph, walked to my car and had my cars license, make and model recorded over the radio in what I can only describe as an extremely hostile manner.

I can appreciate not wanting some one walking through the building unescorted. I can not understand such harsh treatment of some one who is outside the building speaking with students voluntarily. It certainly does not seem in line with the websites statements of "We are here to assist you. Whether you are currently in college, just graduating, out in the workforce and contemplating a career change, or just thinking about the possibility of becoming an osteopathic physician, feel free to contact us. We will gladly provide campus tours, conduct transcript evaluations, and answer any questions you might have regarding the admission process." Needless to say, I will not consider applying here going forward.
