What are your general comments?

"MUSC seems like a great school in a great city! Charleston itself is absolutely lovely and has so much to offer. MUSC is in the downtown area and is easily accessible. The campus is combined with the hospital campus, so it is easy to go from classes to clinicals and the library. Though there are many historical buildings, it seems like they are also working to renovate the campus. Overall it seems like a great school!" Report Response
