What are your general comments?
I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the city, campus, students, and faculty. Really a top notch school that gives you a lot of options. I would never go to a school just for the name brand, but I think HSDM earns it from what I saw.

everything. beautiful campus, beautiful city. it was my first time there. the students were also really laid back and gave a great tour that touched everything.
