Depends on what you are looking for.
I'm big into hiking and nature. I'm also a city boy.

RVU Utah, and/or any of the ones in larger cities.
Second this. I found Pheonix to be really cool. Didn't have time to do the nature stuff on my interview day but all the students stressed how cool it was.
PCOM is in a pretty nice part of Philadelphia.. not technically what people consider "downtown" but is downtown accessible and has easy access to fairmount park, the schuylkill river, etc. for outdoors activities.
Really, I think the question comes down to rural vs urban for DO schools. If you go to a DO program in a big city, you can live pretty much anywhere in that metro area so you'd have a ton of options.
Someone hack your account?
I think Goro was just recommending the location without regard to the quality of the school.
I do have to say thank you for your support Goro. I’m glad you finally came around after seeing our match results, etc.
I highly recommend that you look into Touro Middletown, OP. It is close to the city and near lots of outdoor options in upstate NY.

Yeah he is in no way recommending it lol
But Rowan is super close to Philly so that isn’t a bad spot if you want to live in suburbs and have the ability to easily get to the city.
Sites, not schools!!!
You said it! You can’t recommend one without the other. It doesn’t make sense.
VCOM? Which one?

Lol probably the best location but I may be biased.
Blacksburg in the heart of the Appalachians
You’re being sarcastic, right?

Explain to me what part of my comment has indicated sarcasm..
The “You can’t recommend one without the other”. For example, I’d recommend the Caribbean as a nice location (sunny, relaxing walking trails, beach activities, etc.), but wouldn’t recommend going there for medical school.
100% the best location
I wouldn’t recommend going to a place I didn’t like even if the location was nice. That is what doesn’t make sense. Your sarcastic comment was unnecessary.
It is kinda like sending someone to a hypothetically beautiful place but with a 100% crime rate. They logic is just not there for me but if it is for you @SergeantBuzzKill go at it!
Settle down bud, you’re taking this way too personally

So full of win.
Because you cannot differentiate the difference between a nice area and a quality school is nobody elses fault.
Nope I just wouldn't be crummy enough to recommend a school that I had issues with, regardless of where it is. And, where the heck did you come from lol? Nobody asked for your opinion. Also..maybe your time would be better spent actually getting into med school lol!
Let's keep things mature and stay on topic. Attempts at low blows will only make others look ridiculous.
I think the best way to swing back to the topic would be for OP to mention some interests and maybe some people can inform him about their schools.
Obviously I cannot comment on the areas I have lived in because I'm not a current med student... See what I did there. 😛
