A.T. Still University of Health Sciences Reviews

"The school is challenging and student driven. Work loads are intense, but the faculty is amazing and will do whatever necessary to help students to succeed. The surrounding area is beautiful and you cannot beat the weather. The facilities and access to technology and professional support is outstanding. Really happy with my choice in graduate schools."

"A. T. Still PA program was all in all a great experience. The faculty were very helpful and supportive although the program is very rigorous and intense. The location is great and there is very affordable living surrounding the campus. Due to it being a suburb location there is not much public transportation, so a car would be necessary. The only con of this graduate program was the rotation/clinical placement. There were times throughout my schooling that I did not have a clinical rotation set up until the very last minute and sometimes I had to set them up myself. It is my understanding that the school is aware of this downfall however and is trying to improve this area."

"Pros: very safe environment, friendly community, excellent staff with numerous resources. Cons: small community"

"I am obtaining my masters degree in athletic training and I believe that A.T. Still University at Mesa has a very strong academic program. I know that if I went anywhere else in the country I would not be getting the quality exposure that I get everyday. Our program is only about 20 students and this allows for closer relationships with our faculty and staff. In any of our core classes they are co-taught and have at least 1 faculty member that is a certified athletic trainer. I really do not know that there are any cons to this program but you do have to be ready to work. One thing that can be improved is the diversity of the students as well as staff."

"It's a safe, small town feel with excellent opportunities for education."

"I feel like the school has a wonderful holistic approach to helping people in need. The school is located in an area that has very reasonable apartment prices. The OT department has an open door policy to all its students and there is a feeling that the professors want the students to succeed. There are is not a significant amount of inter-professional opportunities and the campus student services seem to work against the students. They are often short and rude with students. There doesn't seem to be a lot of opportunities to meet other students at fun campus functions."

"A.T. Still University in Mesa, Arizona has really impressed me from day one with their reputable faculty and research opportunities, this university has one of the top Master's programs in Athletic Training. The faculty is top notch and has made me feel like they wanted me in the program. Athletic Training is a small program and this allows for us to engage more and network with our faculty members. Outside of class we are expected to put our education to use. Every student has a Graduate Assistantship where we work in the surrounding secondary schools and colleges with athletics and providing health care to the populations we serve. I do not know that there is a con. Athletic training is not as diverse as it could be, Arizona is not as diverse as it could be, and so I think that ultimately affects the diversity at A.T. Still University"

"KCOM is a great place for those who wish to study to become a doctor (D.O.) without many distractions. The cost of living in Kirksville, MO is very affordable, but there is nothing much to do in the area. The education level of KCOM, however, is top-notch, especially compared to other D.O. schools. KCOM probably boasts the best board-examination (COMLEX) passing scores on a yearly basis, and has terrific faculty and staff that offer constant support."

"Great campus that also provides many opportunities for you and your significant other"

"I feel that the faculty here are determined to help students succeed in school and in the professional field. The workload is tough, but there is someone always available to help."

"Great school overall! Very challenging, but very fair and you won't be able to walk away without having learned!!!"

"Pros: ATSU is staffed with passionate, knowledgeable, motivational professors. They sincerely want their students to succeed and work hard in a collaborative effort in providing current evidence based practice. AZ is a fun, affordable place to live. Some local activities include bike riding, hiking, sight seeing, and working out at the YMCA on campus. Cons: Although there is little diversity represented on campus, several educational and social programs are on campus to provide a safe and open environment. The weather can reach over 100 degrees F."

"Pros-Quality education Cons-Lack of hands on learning available and required to observe all areas, regardless of interest."

"The program is rigorous and faculty is incredibly knowledgable. The size of the classes (small) limits social participation. Overall, a wonderful school."

"The SOMA program at A.T. Still University provides a diverse way of learning medical schools curriculum that are scheme based. The curriculum is just as hard as any medical school program at an extremely fast pass that provide hands on experience in your second year (working at a clinic). Overall, Arizona is a perfect place to hone my medical skills with so many hospitals and excellent doctors to assist. For me when choosing a medical school I could not think of a better match than what was offered through A.T. Still university."
