Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The school's facilities were excellent, the campus environment and the overall environment of the south FL area was phenomenal. The weather is absolutely awesome (but a little humid). The school offers a free MPH program, also they a pre-doctoral fellowship research opportunity in which if accepted, you get your 3rd and 4th years free. The school offers a large list of speicalty rotation selections and residency placement choices, which is great. The faculty and staff were multicultural and are friendly and nice, so were the students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Living expenses down in south FL were much higher than I anticipated. People were paying over 1400 dollars a month for rent, but then again they were sharing with room mates, so might not be as bad.
