What impressed you negatively?

"I really don't like Cleveland. And it's very telling that when I asked students if they'd stay in Cleveland for residency, they all said no. The hospital facilities are top-notch, but I think the actual classroom facilities are run-down. Long hallways with lockers on either side, and classrooms with no windows. That could be very depressing, day in and day out. And I think the curriculum is just too much PBL for me. I've had courses like that in undergrad, and I've always found them to be more frustrating than productive. Great for some people, just not for me. " Report Response
