What impressed you positively?

The curriculum is amazing. I love that there's only 4 hours of class per day, afternoons are free, no class on Thursdays, and the IQ groups. The school's the only medical school in Cleveland, which means the very large and diverse patient population gets treated at Case. If you are into peds, Rainbow is amazing. If you want to see tons of uninsured patients with all sorts of crazy problems, they have MetroHealth. If you want to see the most advanced treatments to diseases that can't be cured anywhere else, Cleveland Clinic is right there. The required research block fits my own interests. Early clinical exposure, integration of public health into curriculum etc. are also positive highlights

What impressed you negatively?

The medical school building has no windows. Facilities seemed a little old.
