Why did you decide to come to Cincinnati?
I decided to come here because:
- Reputation of children's hospital as a good place for research.
- Variety of the faculty that the program offered.
- Cincinnati seemed to be a nice place to live in. Not too big and not too small.
Why would you recommend this program to others?
- Excellent and varied faculty.
- Good working environment.
- A very wide choice of labs to work in.
- Relevant and apt coursework.
What have you enjoyed most about the program?
The best experience has been the people in the research foundation. Everyone is really helpful. You can walk into any lab and talk to people about any help you need with your project and they are generally very helpful. The coursework is finished in the first 3 quarters and then you can concentrate full time on research. This is a really strong point of our program.
