What impressed you positively?

The curriculum and e-curriculum. Afternoons free for electives and studying. Student focused. Responsive, available faculty. Laptops given to all students. Primary care track. Students have desks 1st and 2nd year. My host was great. Clinical aspects first year - the mentors were great! Diversity in the class.

What impressed you negatively?

Students were all really friendly, but over 50% of them are from Ohio and even more from the mid-West. Cleveland. That you need a car all four years and getting a parking permit is virtually impossible your first year. No second look.

What are your general comments?

I loved Case-Western. In fact, I almost went there but changed my mind at the last minute. The students are all really happy and eager to tell you about their school, even the day before exams. I really like the curriculum, having all your lectures on the web if you want to watch them again (or oversleep!) and having the afternoon free for electives and studying. The patient exposure your first two years is amazing, especially the program where you are matched up with a maternity or geriatric patient.
