Hi everyone,
I am really torn between these two schools and was hoping for some insight, especially from current/former students. Both programs are pretty close to home for me. Quinnipiac has a nice, friendly atmosphere and was in a very quiet location (which I like). However, the clinical sites are all off site, and traffic to places like New Haven and Hartford can be ugly. It’s also a new program with less of an established reputation.
Albany is much older and more established. It is located at Albany Medical Center which is convenient, but the city of Albany itself is a dump (lived there before). AMC also has a huge sentimental pull, having had a close friend cured of cancer there. I know this shouldn’t really weigh in to my decision though. The differences in class size don’t make a huge difference to me, and it is tough to separate them academically.
Thanks for any and all insight.
