Hey guys,
Sorry to make a thread like this, but I sincerely need some input on deciding where to go/place my 1k deposit right now. Obviously there are pros and cons to both and every school, and everybody's preferences. I just want to know what you guys think (current medical students that would be awesome!)
I really liked AZCOM's environment and campus. I'm a huge fan of how "lively" the campus was at my visit. If I lived near Phoenix, the choice would be a no-brainer. I wasn't fond of Western's campus, but I hear good things about their rotations. Obviously that is more important for me in the long run.
Western COMP
Pros:
-Close to home, family etc.
-Tuition a tad cheaper
-More opportunities for ward based rotations/ better rotations (?)
Cons:
-Area is not so great
-Cost of living is high
-Campus in my opinion is kind of run down...seems like a commuter school
AZCOM
Pros:
-Beautiful campus
-Solid first 2 years
-On campus housing, cheap!
Cons:
-Hot
-Primarily preceptor based rotations (not a very good vibe from 3rd/4th years)
-High tuition
-Rural rotation ?
Obviously a short list but a fraction of the things that came to mind. What do you guys think?
