"The people are incredibly nice there. Students are very happy, well represented in the important committees within the school like curriculum, admissions, etc. The faculty are ready and willing to help you with anything, school and non-school related. Curriculum is blocked, with one test every 3-4 weeks, plenty of free time for studying, and/or extracurricular activities. Facilities for first and second years are mstly new, and the anatomy lab is in its first year of use. Great programs and opportunities for primary care interests (RMED, Binghamton campus) as well as specialists and reserach." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The weather will be a challenge. It was cold, but everyone was saying how it is not typically as cold as it was (high around zero, before windchill).

It is a blue collar town and a college town, so that is what activites in Syracuse are geared towards." Report Response
