What impressed you positively?

LA county hospital is amazing, the ER is a stop on the student tour. Utter chaos, there's nothing you won't see after rotations in there. there's a very collegial atmosphere, the students are friendly and cooperative rather than competitive. the new curriculum is great. the faculty is very approachable, and the administration gives a ton of attention to the students. people here feel spoiled, they're treated so well.

What impressed you negatively?

NOTHING. the weather was... too nice? distracting?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the neighborhood around the medical campus is not nearly as bad as i had heard; it's not the place to go for a 2 AM stroll, but definitely not urban decay.

What are your general comments?

I was floored by USC. i went in with mediocre expectations, and now it is far and away my top choice. all i have to do now is get in...
