I am extremely grateful to have been accepted into both of these schools. I am looking for some insight as to which would be the better one for me to attend. From what I can gather about the universities:
Western Advantages:
-Better rotations
-excellent reputation
-better campus
-great volunteer opportunities
-early patient exposure at free clinics
Western Disadvantages:
-Poor availability of professors
-Lectures that are webcast from the Oregon Campus
-surprisingly expensive housing
Touro-Ca Advantages:
-excellent student-professor relationships /open door policy with professors
-opportunity to do dual MPH program
-smaller class size
-close to home for me (Bay Area native)
-slightly cheaper housing
Touro-Ca Disadvantages:
-worse looking campus, although not terrible as many say
-rotation spots that are spread throughout California
If anyone knows which school does better on the boards (How well students do, not how many pass) I would love to know. I would factor this into my decision. I have called both schools and asked many students, but no one seems to know.
Please correct me if any of the information that I have presented is wrong. I am specifically interested in exactly how bad/good are Touro-Ca rotation opportunities. Please let me know what you all think! 😀
