What impressed you positively?

"The staff and students there are awesome. New anatomy lab. I don't know what the student that posted on March 14th, 2004 was talking about, he/she said that upstates anatomy lab was run-down, and the school wasn't any good. He must have visited a different med school. I'm ashamed that I go to the same undergrad school as him.
