What impressed you positively?

student happiness is off the charts, location is amazing, hospital is very nice

What impressed you negatively?

could take on a "summer camp" feeling because of the extreme isolation of medical students... also, patient population is homogenous (although their problems are not)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

30 minute interviews are FAST. also, stay with a student... best way to know if you'll be happy there

What are your general comments?

great school, amazing location, extremely happy students... the catch is that hanover is very isolated and that promotes a kind of tightness between the students that could become claustrophobic OR could make them the best friends you've ever had... depends on you. also, outdoor recreation is a must there... that's about all there is to do in that area
