However, there is also a significant portion of the population that thinks UHS is slow, impersonal and does not offer good medical treatment. For all its credentials, some think UHS is not a first-rate health service.
Some students say they wouldn't trust UHS to treat them if they had a complicated disease. "If I were drastically ill, there is no way I would go there," says Leslie J. Messineo, a first-year student at the Law School.
And finally, UHS is the occasional the butt of student jokes. "The story here is that no matter what cold you have, you are going to receive one of two things from UHS: two aspirin or a cane, if you're lucky." says Shannon B. McNulty '87.
UHS officials assert that their health care is among the best in the country and that most student complaints are only directed towards one of the services which UHS offers.
In the walk-in clinic, UHS patients can come in whenever they like and see a doctor sometime that day. No appointment is necessary, and patients rarely see the same doctor twice even if they go in several times.
