Emma Graham, Sophomore. "Due to the lack of doctor hours, they don't seem to listen to you because they're trying to get through so many students. As a result, symptoms don't receive attention and can even get worse. Also, I have heard of people not being told about the costs of tests before they take them. This information should be shared so that people know what they're getting into financially."
