What are your general comments?

I was really impressed by Pritzker and the surrounding University. The interviewers were exceptionally sharp, and asked engaging, meaningful questions. The HYde Park area was also quite a surprise. I had heard that U Chicago was in a bad area, but the school is fairly sequestered from the surrounding bad areas, which really aren't that bad. In fact, they're an interesting slice of Black america which the University Hospitals serve. The facilities were also very impressive: clean, well lit, beautifully constructed architecure. And the students all seemed enthusiastic and proud without being arrogant. I loved the place!
