Eboni and I drove down to San Antonio to tour UIWSOM. The tour and my interaction with the Director of Admission served to reconfirm that my initial feelings about UIWSOM were correct. I feel very much at home at the school and despite what some have said, the facilities are very nice. The school is housed in the former Brooks Air Force Base. The base used to serve as the USAF physician aerospace medicine training center. UIW purchased the base and thoroughly updated and modernized the facilities and it is now a first class educational facility. There is great technology embedded within each building and there is great technical support in the event that something doesn't work. The facilities are comfortable and there are plenty of resturants, grocery stores, and several gyms in the local area. We were able to rent a home that is maybe five to six miles away from the school. Unfortunately, because of COVID concerns, the tours that are being offered are socially distanced and I wasn't able to speak with any current students (though I have meet with some current students via Zoom) but if you want to see a little of the school, you can click on this virtual tour link. I'm really looking forward to July 26th...
