"The rigor of the program is top-notch, and you are exposed to so many different medical scenarios and
cultures—more than you would be at any other school."
"You really focus on your schooling and education, and [Ross] teaches you a real respect for the field.
And sometimes, I do miss waking up and wearing shorts every day."
