What impressed you positively?

It's true what they say ... the students really seem to love Vanderbilt ... and I think the reason is that they seriously cater to the students - they try and make it as easy as a process for you while your're there. I was impressed by the new Childrens hospital and just how major of a medical instution it is ... theres 5 hospitals on the immediate campus all wihtin a 2 minute walk of each other
