Met with a current student who showed me around and gave me some pointers.
What impressed you positively?
MCO seems like it would be a pleasant place to be a medical student. The school sits on a tranquil campus full of trees and small streams. In addition the facilities are clean and modern. Free parking is another nice bonus.
What impressed you negatively?
Toledo seems like an OK place to live but it lacks some of the features I'm used to coming from a relatively big city. However the lack of nightlife and major sports teams makes for less distractions I suppose.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Toledo is a town that has been in decline for decades. There are some hints of economic rebuilding but they are few and far between.
What are your general comments?
I would be happy to attend MCO. By all accounts the school seems to provide a solid medical education that allows its students to match into competitive residencies.
