What impressed you positively?
The medical campus is absolutely phenomenal. The new curriculum is fantastic. The students are extraordinarily friendly and happy.
What impressed you negatively?
Cleveland is really destitute and it is apparent. All the social ills stemming from this are present. Walking around the city at night is definitely a bad idea.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Staying with students is really important if you want to get the insiders view on what life is like in a city you've never been to before. Staying in a bed-and-breakfast was comfortable, but I didn't see nearly as much as I could have.
What are your general comments?
Admissions Office staff didn't do that great of a job presenting the school, but they didn't have to: it speaks for itself. Top notch everything. It is clear that you will be an amazing physician when you graduate from Case.
