What impressed you positively?

"the pretty anatomy lab; the nationally-ranked children's hospital (I wandered there during my free time and a doctor saw me looking kinda lost so he took me on a tour of his floor!)" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The tiny campus: it seemed like the campus only consisted of 4 main buildings (admin office med science building, hospital, children's hospital) and bunker-like student housing. Students at NYMC were nice enough but other students interviewing there gave off the distinct impression that they were just here because it was a backup." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That everyone (students/faculty) would have no clue about what was happening with Touro.

Report Response
