Hey everyone,
I am accepted into MSUCOM- East Lansing site for the DO program for the Class of 2017!
However, I still have interviews at Touro Univ College of Osteopathic Medicine at CA on April 30th and AT Still Univ School of Osteopathic Medicine at Arizona on May 3rd.
Can anyone provide some insight into which school is the best and whether it even makes sense to go for any further interviews if MSUCOM really is the best osteopathic medical school of the three I listed above?
Also, for MSUCOM, is East Lansing the best site for DO students? Are there reputed hospitals nearby? I originally applied DO-PhD but did not get accepted dual degree and only got accepted into the DO program. Thus, I automatically received acceptance at the East Lansing site and just figured this was the best site since it has the most resources and was the original site for MSUCOM.
Any current student's input on MSUCOM vs. TUCOM-CA and ATSU-SOMA would be excellent!
Also, for housing at MSUCOM-East Lansing, what is the ideal place for first-year DO students i.e. where do most first-year DO students live? Capitol Villa apartments? Any input on how Capitol Villa apartments are? Do a lot of first-year DO students live here? Are the apartments pretty new and equipped with dishwasher, microwave, stove, washer, dryer, wi-fi, and 24-hour access fitness center?
Any advice on whether it is better to have a roommate or take live alone but in an apartment complex where a lot of other first-year DO MSUCOM students live?
I am visiting Capitol Villa apartments on May 6th, 2013 at 3pm and thereafter Valley Forge apartments at 4:30pm on May 6th, 2013 as well.
Ideally, I am looking to live in a single apartment that meets the following criteria:
Is in a complex heavily populated by first-year DO MSUCOM East Lansing students
Comes with washer, dryer, free wi-fi, dishwasher, stove (definitely) and ideally also microwave, refrigerator, freezer
Has 24-hour access fitness center
Is within 10-15 min. walk to MSUCOM East Lansing campus
Has covered parking lot for car
Has 1-2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 full bathroom, and kitchen area,
Is available for rental starting May 17th, 2013
Any input as to whether Capitol Villa apartments would meet the above criteria?
Thanks everyone for your help!
I look forward to a response!
I would love to connect with anyone who responds to learn more via cell phone and email and will provide this information upon request.
Thanks again!
