FIU
Pros:
-Great Step 1 scores
-Prosected labs (I see this as a plus b/c it seems like a big time saver and a more efficient way to study)
-Beautiful campus and facilities and I mean it's MIAMI c'mon!
-Affiliated hospitals aren't too far
-Overall I had a great feeling from the campus and the students
Cons:
-Out of state tuition
-Regular grading system (doesn't bug me that much - to the best of my knowledge it seems like residency programs care more about step 1)
-People say traffic/ cost of living is high but I'm from California so I feel like it can't get much worse than over here...
DREXEL
Pros:
-More well established
-P/F grading system
-Cheaper tuition
Cons:
-New curriculum (its all online.. knowing me I think I'd rather have the option to attend lectures)
-Hospital rotation sites are given out by a raffle and some students wind up having to go super far and relocate
-Campus was definitely not as nice as FIU
Not sure if I'm missing something, but if anyone has any valuable input I would greatly appreciate it 😀
