i'm still torn on this issue, too. u of wisc just built a brand new med school, is over 10,000 cheaper a year and is close to home. part of me wants a change of venue, but the other part says stick with the fam and friends. on the other hand, everyone at DMS seems to really like it.
good motivator for 2nd look.
xadmin said:Hey superdevil, I agreed with you. The on campus facilities are the worst of all the medical schools I interviewed at. They are old and gloomy. No video taping of lecture? Come on, catch up with technology. Using microscope in histology? Come on, there are slides on computer that you can use to learn from.
Their computer lab is also utterly poor. With a few computer here and there.
Other than that, I liked the school.
i'd agree the classroom i saw wasn't the greatest, but i come from a state school, and have already had several toxic asbestos exposures from exposed pipe insulation in lecture halls (that and my old elementary school was the epicenter of fatal e. coli outbreaks. yeah wisconsin public ed).
anyways, i don't think we oughta base too much on this -- consider the amount of time you actually spend in class. the hospital/other resources and area are far more important. of course, that and the sweet, sweet asbestos.
