What impressed you positively?

The hospital complex is HUGE and beautiful and offers everything you could ever want.

What impressed you negatively?

The students seemed as a whole a lot more subdued and less excited than other places I've been. The meeting with the dean also did very little to tell us what a great place this is-- she just wasn't very effusive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

St. Louis isn't so terrible. My med school buddy took me on a driving tour... if you can swing this, do it, it's important to see the city.

What are your general comments?

Everyone was just too quiet and not so very interesting. They just didn't have that much to tell me. I couldn't see myself there, but that's a personal opinion.
