NYMC just opended their new childrens hospital and the students take mini boards for every exam.

What are your general comments?

Overall the experience was pleasant. I like the fact that the campus is off away from the city but close enough to take a trip into Manhattan to enjoy the city life. Students are a little weird in my opinion but the facilities are awesome and the faculty are very warm and approachable.
