What impressed you positively?

"The students were very enthusiastic, happy, friendly, open, and non-competitive with one another. Waiting in the reception area I looked through the Med school yearbook.

Also apparently the Fan distric just down Broad Street is a beautiful historical area and a great place for Urban professionals and grad students." Report Response
