What impressed you positively?

The new hospital is amazing. The whole 6th floor is dedicated to teaching medical students. They're also redone some of the classrooms-ex no more microscopes. DC would be a great place to live. Students seemed really happy to be there, and they highly recommended the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost-but I already knew that. Living in DC would be expensive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

When they said the metro was across the street from the med school, they really meant it was right across the street inbetween school and hospital.

What are your general comments?

Very low stress interview. Most of the questions came from here.
