What are your general comments?

really good. changed my mind about being on the fence for med school, the clincal experience gained at downstate is incomparable to any other med school and that is the most important tool to have when you graduate. this school is now my number one. the glitz and glamour of other rural or suburban schools doesn't match the exposure you get at downstate.

What impressed you positively?

the building maybe a little crummy in comparrision to other schools, but the experience you get from working at Kings county hospital, will prepare you more than any other med student graduate. student's loved the school, the experience, and the reputation of graduating with having some stuff under your belt

lectures are not video taped, the building is old and not beautiful and warm being as how im always cold. no place to get food outside of downstate building.
