Students were very friendly, they have great rotation sites and a great match list for residencies.

What impressed you negatively?

Pretty expensive tuition and cost-of-living is pretty high for a student (especially if you live in the city for your rotation years), but students told us it is definitely do-able, even if you live on your own (without a roommate).
