What impressed you positively?:
Great facilities, simulation building is great, all the residents I met were nice and happy with the program (the single and the married ones), low cost of living, little/no traffic. I met both residents that were liberal and conservative, without one clearly dominating the other. Skiing near St.Paul. People around the city are very nice. Very family friendly. Easily meet their Ob/peds numbers, and they offer to send you to jacksonville and/or scotsdale for further experience in a different type of hospital on their dime. Report as inappropriate

it's cold, no mountains nearby. Sometimes finding a particular job for your spouse could be a problem. Probably not the best place for a hip single person. Report as inappropriate
