Fun Fantasy
What Would
NSU-COM Students
Do if They
Ruled the School?
By Scott Colton, B.A., APR

It’s a scenario that occurs frequently when it comes to students
attending medical school at the numerous allopathic and osteopathic
colleges located throughout the United States. No matter how presti-
gious an institution is—or how acclaimed its programs are—the stu-
dents, who toil for years to earn their coveted D.O. or M.D. degrees,
possess universally strong opinions on the perceived strengths and
deficiencies that exist at their chosen colleges.
Some may point to flawed admissions processes or too-stringent
attendance policies, while others may find fault with particular cur-
ricular requirements, exorbitant tuition rates, or large class sizes. In
fact, with over 970 students currently working toward their degrees
in all four classes, it would be impossible for NSU’s College of Os-
teopathic Medicine—or any medical school for that matter—to earn
universal praise from every member of its student body.
