waiting,
Thanks for the input. I'm not sure if I want to specialize, but I want the option open. Both Stony Brook and UConn are in quiet areas, both equidistant from major cities, both mix meds and dental students and both have small class size. The big difference is, as you mentioned, the intensity of UConn. I was unsure about how I felt about that too. I'm glad you mentioned it. I don't know if I like the hustle-bustle of the big hospital setting. Stony Brook is much more laid back. UConn surprised me in this regard because you would think a P/F system would reduce competitiveness and lessen the intensity.
Oh, well. I still have a lot of thinking to do!
