ALL of the programs are good; they are just different in some ways. Each has its own little personality and some people fit in better at one school than another. Barry is unique in that the podiatry school is part of a university that grants undergrad and graduate degrees in many fields, not just healthcare. So, you have all kinds of activities. After class, you can walk over to the diamond and watch a baseball game, take a swim, workout, or go to a play or concert...all on the same campus. The entire area, and the university, are extremely diverse. There are literally students from over a hundred countries on campus. No other program can really offer that...BUT that may not be what you are looking for. Out of the eight schools, I'm sure that at least one will be a fit for you.
