I am very thankful to have multiple acceptances, and I've pretty much boiled it down to these 2 schools; however, I'm pretty conflicted. I also want to go back to the southeast for residency preferably, so BU might be better for this given that it's in the east side of the country?
BU Pros:
- Safety net hospital for the Boston community which is pretty important for me
- Decent research & great children's hospital nearby
- Dorms are like 1k for rent, which is good considering the rent in Boston is super high
BU Cons:
- I'm not used to city life
- The area surrounding the school at night is a little bit shady according to students & the community
- Will have to rely on public transportation. I've used a car for transportation for various years
- 3h flight from home
Colorado Pros:
- Beautiful campus & chill area
- Amazing research & the school has its own children's hospital
- Students do a lot of outdoor activities
Colorado Cons:
- Not much diversity in the class from what i've heard
- COA will be much higher
- ~5-6h flight from home
Edit: Received more financial aid from Colorado. So COA for BU will be ~290k and Colorado will be ~240k over the 4 years.
