What impressed you positively?

"The Women's and Children's Hospital makes South seem like the place you want to be if you are interested in pursuing a career in a related field." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"We were only shown the Women's and Children's Hospital... probably because it is South's biggest bragging right, but it kind of made me wonder about all the other hospitals... are they that bad? In addition, the biomedical sciences building on campus- where your spend your life for first and second year- is old, outdated, and a horrible place to spend two years of your life. The library isn't anything to write home about either." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
