New York city! The library is clean, the students are nice, the hospitals give the best clinical experience anywhere in the country, and the curriculum is under revision to reduce lecture time and increase PBL/small group learning. Students were young and diverse.

The NY med center is a little old, but there's currently a lot of construction being done on it. There was no official dean's welcome or anything of that sort either.
