School Facilities

Even if the education is top notch, the quality of your surroundings can greatly affect a students ability to actually learn. This, to me, includes a good library, and the ability for students to do everything they need to at school which requires the use computers. That is how we do research after all, and can learn how to play with the big boys like your average med school. Below is also the Overall Ratings give to facilities of each school.
