EYE-Q Podcast: Episode 1

Welcome to EYE-Q, a video podcast featuring students from the New England College of Optometry (NECO). In this series, we seek to answer questions that we hear most often from prospective students: How expensive is it to live in Boston? How difficult is the program? Is it possible to have a social life while pursuing an OD? These are the types of topics we'll cover in the months ahead.

Our premiere episode focuses on the reality of living in Boston as a NECO student — the good and the not so good. We welcome your feedback and invite you to email us at [email protected].
