I've looked up some older threads but those weren't as helpful. Thanks in advance.

AZCOM
Pros

• Love the west coast/southweast
• Wide array of rotation sites across the US
• I really enjoyed the staff and students I interacted with.

Cons

• Tuition is super high
• Test every week

KCUMB
Pros

• Dual degree programs
• Very established DO school
• 10k off tuition on top of an already cheaper tuition.

Cons

• Not thrilled to be in Kansas; Seemed to be in a not-so-great part of town
• My student ambassador said curriculum was super difficult and the students seemed constantly stressed

Summary: Basically, I'm worried that at KCU I will be overly stressed. I'm just not sure if this is worth the money I'd be saving.

AZCOM is annoying in the fact that its hot as hell, non pass/fail, extremely high tuition. Nothing will stress students more than a test every monday, its a complete weekend killer. In my opinion, I would go with KCU. More established and cheaper

I know some CCOM students and they have that those weekly test. It looks miserable. I'd go for the cheaper, more noted, P/F unless you can't see yourself at all being in KC. I thought the town looked pretty cool when I visited (maybe not the campus part, but outside of that)

Have you looked at KCUs rotation site list?

I did. But Im honestly clueless on how to judge the quality of a rotation site beyond where it is located, and the size of the hospital. Going off of those factors a lot of the KCU rotation sites seem to be in the middle of nowhere.

I said that because you listed that as a pro for Azcom

Both schools sound stressful AF to be honest. Just follow your gut
