ACOM VS LMU-DCOM (Harrogate)

I was recently offered a position off the waitlist to ACOM and have already signed a lease on a place in LMU and already moved in; I was wondering which would be better?

ACOM
1. More rotations sites
2. Technology Package for 200 something
3. Large city (but more traffic)
4. 3.5 hours from family (closer)
5. Better comlex-1 and 2 scores on the 1st pass
6. Have to find housing/roommates in the next 12 days
7. Mandatory attendance 60%
8. Willing to waive deposit

LMU-DCOM
1. Fewer rotation sites
2. More supportive students/faculty
3. Smaller city less traffic
4. Less tuition (2k/year difference)
5. 5.5 hours from family
6. Housing and everything is situated already moved in also
8. Mandatory attendance is a lot less only lab/certain exams

Can i get your reasons if you wouldn't mind?

ACOM for the better rotations. LMU was in a bit of hot water for statements made by the dean and they used to be on heightened monitoring for their accreditation status.

Yeah, i saw they have better rotations, but LMU has a thing where if you find a physician, you can do rotations there. I believe the accreditation had to do at the newer campus in Knoxville. Unfortunately, between the housing deposit, 1st month of rent, and the security deposit, I'm over 2k in the hole.

That's less than I expected actually. Makes it less of an obstacle.

Finding a physician to do rotations with does not sound like a viable plan. You should be doing them where there is a proper structure.

That sounds like a bad thing that they/you twisted to make it seem good.
It means they're lacking in rotations and they're making you set it up for them whilst selling it to you as "freedom".

and trust me, while you're studying for step and comlex the LAST thing you want to be doing is finding doctors.
It's a btch just trying to get FOOD and WATER
