I've found a couple of thread about SCCO vs SUNY, but none that are fairly recent/has been able to help me make a decision.
I am currently going through the application process for optometry school for the entering class of 2013. I got interviews for both SCCO and SUNY. I interviewed at SUNY last week and am very impressed. The professors, the curriculum, the clinic, and the city were all great factors of SUNY. I feel so happy to have been accepted to SUNY and am considering dropping my interview for SCCO. I'm in sort of a dilemma right now because I love SUNY and am thinking that I should just save time and money and not even attend the interview for any other schools. However, I'm scared that I might be missing out on something that SCCO can offer.
I know both schools have really good reputations and curriculums, there is no doubt about that. But I'm looking for an optometry school that I can work hard, but also play hard as well. School sites often emphasize curriculum and clinics, but not really what it is like to live there. I am from Virginia, and I'm looking to spend my next 4 years in a nice location where I can explore. Can someone give me an outlook on what it's like to live in NYC and what it's like to live in Fullerton (exploring/going out)? Can someone also comment on the student dynamic at these two schools (are students friendly, competitive, study all the time ect?) I know these questions sound really silly but I really would like to know the factors that aren't emphasize on theses school's website.
Thank you so much!!
