What are your general comments?

Overall, I have a great feeling about the school. There is no lack of diversity in the patient population, and I am sure I would recieve a great education here. Memphis will take some getting used to and the campus is not exactly pleasing to the eye. Most importantly, though, its a great institution for learning medicine.
