"At the student mixer the night before the interview several MS III and IV's were there to answer any questions. They spend the majority of time talking about what bars they go to on a nightly basis, the frats, and how they use their student loan money to go on ski trips. No wonder they can't pass the boards. There seemed to be two types of students: party frat types and geeks. No middle ground. Also, the hospital and facilities seemed fairly run down. " Report Response
