If your friend is from IL, then that school is good. If your friend has no other acceptances, then that school is great. But otherwise, let your friend know about cockroaches, rats, stinky bathrooms, unprofessional staff, delayed processing for "everything", profs/docs who speak very little english, some wear the same clothes for the entire week (1 broke the record by wearing the same outfit, pants and shirt, not sure about the underwear though for 2 wks straight!!!! - no exagerration), dodge bullets between the school and the hospital, maybe even your way home, and then there is literally 1 apt complex around that charges $1500 for 1 bedroom - no carpetting, no air conditioning, its just a project building bought out by some money hungry smart man, who knows he can get away with charging insane rent to desperate and poor med students and residents.
Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone.. just an FYI.. if you want to know more, I have tons more...
