My cousin moved from Mesa, AZ to Troy, AL for his second year. During that time he traveled a lot around the area for whatever it is they do. He then moved 200+ miles to north Alabama for his 3rd year rotations. A lot of them required him to drive at least an hour away. He starts his 4th year in August, but will be staying in the same place, however he's going to be gone for 3 or more months doing rotations all over.. but this is like most 4th years I believe due to audition rotations.
Either way, he moved entirely too much for my taste.. and his. I don't believe everyone will have it the way he did, but I'm going to bet a lot of them did. He likes the school and is getting a good education, but he wishes he would have applied earlier (applied to DO schools in jan-feb after being rejected from the MD schools he applied) so he could have stayed around our area. He was waitlisted at DMU and KCOM.
