6. Great residents.  They will be there for you whenever you need them and can have fun with them too. – PGY2 resident.
5. Parking adjacent to hospital makes for quick and easy access (especially when running a tad bit late…) – PGY2 resident
4.  Amazing office staff willing to go the extra mile so residents can focus on education not bureaucracy. – PGY2 resident

1. Basketball Court on the Roof – When considering where you want to do pediatric residency, one of the first things you should ask yourself is “Do they have a basketball court on the roof?” If not, they should be moved to the very bottom of (if not removed from) your rank list. – PGY2 resident
