What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Take the subway from the airport. www.mbta.com " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"This was for HST. The faculty interview was open file at Mass Gen and the student was closed file at MIT. You can take the subway to and fro but they'll give you cab fare if you need it. You don't get to see the hospitals on the tour, so visit them in your free time. On the top floor of the library is a museum with Phineas Gage's skull, check it out. " Report Response
