"I went to downstate expecting to be dissapointed. Instead, I was very pleased with all that I saw. The people I met were all friendly and excited to be a part of downstate. The facilities were perfectly fine. Yes, the anatomy lab was a little stinky, but come on people what do you expect? The interview was mostly just a conversation, and was not stressful in any way. Downstate is now one of my top choices, and the price is right. " Report Response
