Student Voices

Incredibly Supportive

Incredibly Supportive

"Northwestern has been a part of my life since birth, literally. Although I had many preconceived notions of what life would be like at Feinberg, I fell further in love with this school throughout my interview and Second Look days. This love was not only for the incredibly supportive administration, faculty and senior medical students who made it known that the members of Feinberg are a family but also for the unparalleled research and learning opportunities that are offered from day one."
