Hey phinicky- I liked UCSF alot. The faculty were great, and SF is of course beautiful. The only 2 things that really concerned me were that the fellow I met did not seem happy and the traffic between the three hospitals. The main concerns of the fellow were the extensive amount of driving required between the hosptals in SF traffic (all on opposite ends of the city), the fact they have to pay for their own parking in 2/3 hospitals, and apparently finding a spot is also difficult and gets expensive, especially when considering high cost of SF living). Although this sounds small, I could see if getting really annoying and it definitely seemed to affect the fellow. I thought that the other programs I listed were just as good but without the same hassle. I loved HSS as mentioned before. I did not apply to NYU so have no comment. Good luck!
