Read school's website, SDN

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed really nice and enthusiastic, a true pass/fail grading system, clinical opportunities, diversity of patient population, New York City, MPH program, international opportunities, all faculty and interviewers were extremely friendly and supportive, central park, proximity to subway stop

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that to most students live in subsidized apartments. The housing was really cheap, close to the school, and attractive...but I'm not sure I can go back to having roommates again after living on my own for several years

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school is in Manhattan, but it isn't the trendiest area. Also the curriculum is still pretty traditional, they have class from 9-3 or so everyday.

What are your general comments?

I loved this school. I loved everything about it; the students, the atmosphere, the city...if I could just overcome the shared housing thing I'd have a perfect match
