What are your general comments?

"I really like this school. How friendly the people on campus are was a nice surprise and the facilities are good. Lots of technology incorporation, the cost of living is lower than I am used to which is nice considering it being such a safe city. Lots of housing within walking distance. I really wish they had more diversity, affiliated hospitals for rotations and didn't rank students (I prefer HP/P/LP/F). Those were the only drawbacks for me." Report Response
