WF med school interview

Hey, I am interviewing in early Dec at the med school at WF and I was thinking about coming down a couple of days early to get a feel for this town.

Is it possible to get around town without a car? Also, how many days would you recommend that I spend here? I am thinking along the lines of 3 nights, two full days (not including interview days).

Also feel free to throw in any random tips you may have. :)

You can get around Winston Salem with out a car pretty good. They have the bus and cabs. 3 nights will give you the slight feel for the city.

If you have never been to Winston Salem then you should go to Old Salem and walk around and see all of the shops down there.

To expand on the comment by EagleRidge - Old Salem was a community set up by the Moravians and some of the original buildings are open to the public with costumed interpreters. The Decorative Arts and Children%26#39;s Museums, also in Old Salem, are also worth a visit.

Truthispretty, my wife is a resident at WFBMC and we were able to tour Winston in roughly 2 days time (interview day included). I would recommend having a car as you can get around from different parts of the city--downtown, Buena Vista, Ardmore (where the hospital is located), Hanes Mall Blvd., etc--without relying on public transportation. Wake is not within walking distance to Baptist hospital. But I%26#39;m pretty sure the med school will have 3rd and 4th year students and residents that will be on hand to entertain and guide you around town.
