What impressed you positively?

"Interview day was extremely well-organized -- they even have a pizza party the night before your interview! They also give you a full breakfast, not just a granola bar and coffee. And, they offer you a free night of housing in the student dorm (you get your own room, towels, linens, alarm clock; you share a hallway bathroom). The faculty are super friendly and accessible. The administration is so open to feedback that they actually give out small gift certificates to students who complete their feedback surveys. Lots of new facilities (the new learning center with the M1 M2 lecture halls is really nice). Barnes-Jewish would be a great place to do rotations and it's very conveniently located (you can access it from the med school by tunnels and above-ground passageways without going outside). Children's hospital is also impressive and well-designed." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"St. Louis doesn't seem like the greatest place to live -- off-campus is slightly dangerous, and St. Louis isn't as much a cultural center as other large cities. BUT, housing is incredibly cheap. Seriously, you could buy a condo for the same price you'd be paying in rent elsewhere and still have money left over." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"If you're not living on campus, you can call protective services for an escort to the dorm or admissions office (314 - 362-4357). Oh, also, M1 is P/F but M2 is H/HP/P/F." Report Response
