What impressed you positively?

"The medical quadrangle near the school is AMAZING. Jackson memorial is such a behemoth of a hospital, it's overwhelming. In a 3 block radius, there are is a cancer center, eye institute, peds center, spinal cord injury, the list goes on. VERY nice to have everything so close together. Lots of small places to grab a quick bite to eat. The whole area was bustling with people - seemed similar to a NYC block almost!" Report Response
