What are your general comments?

"strange. Touro looks like an abandoned prison.. The inside of the school was more up to date. Outside, the air had this metallic taste because the school is located in a shipyard. The professors seemed nice. Students seemed neutral to the school. Overall, i left the school hoping i wouldn't get in because i didn't want to think about putting down 2000 dollars for the deposit just to secure my place in a med school." Report Response
