What impressed you positively?

"BU's emphasis on being the "people's hospital." The down-to-earth no frills, no bulls*#t attitude of the admissions staff and the students. Dean Witzburg's motivating words!" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Because the students live all over Boston, they didn't seem as integrated as the students at other schools I looked at. The library seemed a bit old and not that good and the student tourguide said a lot of times she has to go to Harvard to find materials." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Very laid back. BU really seemed like a quality institution without the pompous attitude of some the other med schools. My interview was with a Ph.D. who was so enthusiastic about his research, my research, and, of course, the school. On the tour we got to see the anatomy lab: my first time seeing a cadaver! The faculty seems really tight-knit. And Boston is a great city to study and live in!" Report Response
