What impressed you positively?
the first year lecture hall was new and nicely equipted. the student tour guides were real cool and funny and they were really involved in a lot of clubs and organizations. it seems that the school tries to cater to the students needs.
What impressed you negatively?
the projects were like 2 blocks down and the affiliated hostipals looked really sad. the facilities were pretty crap (especially the cadaver laboratory had really old equiptment, no video monitors at each table and the whole room really stunk and there was only one body in there). but the worst part of the facilities were the on-campus apartments... I saw a two bedroom that had NO livingroom. just this tiny place for a dining table and the bedrooms were completely separated (really unsociable).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
the website says that the campus is located in the midst of the middle class suburbs, but it was actually pretty ghetto. there were scary looking people all over the streets.
