Here at Cleveland, like the majority of chiropractic colleges, students attend school year round. The ‘trimester’ schedule is used to promote an efficient four year graduation plan.Students do receive two weeks off three times per year, and also a one week spring break.

The offices of chiropractors made the list at #2, beating out dentists (#5), orthodontists (#7), optometrists (#12) and physical therapists(#19)!

My peers have set high goals for themselves, and ...
