New England Medical Center. wow, that place is gorgeous. why would anyone want to do rotations at other hospitals when they can spend all their time at NEMC?!

the cost. 4yrs of tuition = a condo by the beach

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that cost of living in boston was going to be so forbidding. they have dorms, but no many ppl live in dorms.

What are your general comments?

pretty good experience. one interviewer was really nice, the other was more keen. and there was a lot of waiting around when the interviewing started. but i think the school is great; my only concern would be the cost and i think most people would agree that it is a big concern, indeed.
