Ok, So I am going to probably open a can of worms here by some of the stuff I am going to say, but after today I think things need to be said.
I have been on SDN for some time and in my opinion SDN has more negative posts about schools or military medicine and so on, than positive. So I took it upon myself to post my experiences at LECOM - SH. A majority of them have been positive. Sure it is good to know some of the problems that are going on with the school. However, in my experience not many people post positive experiences...people would much rather feed the trolls.
I am not going to lie and say there havent been times where I think how things are handled here at LECOM - SH are utterly ridiculous. Overall, I am having a positive experience here at SH, but I am an overly optimistic person. There have been comments among students on campus that I am misleading people in the forum saying that our school is great.
HOWEVER, this is not the case. I have said that our school has negatives and problems like any other school but probably more because we are new. And yes there are some problems that have happened here that probably shouldnt have. And yes about 80% of the first year class is very disgruntled about the way things are going here. BUT I am the type of person that looks to see what we can learn from it and move on.
I do truly believe that things will be better next year. Mainly because we will have more staff and the problems from this year will be addressed and fixed. The whole issue here is how much BS people can take before they get pissed off. For a majority of the class, they have hit the point of being fed up and are getting even more pissed more easily when things go wrong which is their right. Everyone can have their own opinions.
All I can say is that I am enjoying my experience here, and yes there are days where I wish I had gone to Erie. BUT I know I am studying and learning what I need to know for the Boards even if that isnt always reflected in my test scores.
I have always been a firm believer of you make what you WANT of an experience. If you hop on the bandwagon and follow others down a road you dont like you are not going to enjoy the trip. I am making the most of what I CAN while here and thus far it has been working.
We have had issues with one professor but others have stepped in to try and make things better. SO, I am standing behind all of my previous posts! Again, it is all about what YOU make of an experience!
