actually if you go to priceline, you don't have to pay any insurance. Just go to priceline.com and get a rental car from there...if you bid $20-25 dollars, you almost certainly get it. My classmate last year bid $18, got a full size car, was only 22 by the way, and drove up to Erie. If you get in before or after rush hour, it takes 1 hour 45 minutes. But when you get on the highway, that's the one that basically takes you all the way to erie so its a pretty simple drive. LECOM is a really good school because its one of the newest and fastest growing. We had the 4th largest incoming class in the country, and next year they're expanding into Florida, so technically LECOM will be the largest medical school in the country, MD and DO included. Also LECOM just got clearance by buying I think a 20-30 thousand dollar insurance for us and now for rotations, we're able to go to India, Austrilia, Germany, Ireland, South African countries, and other countries. Almost all food and board for paid for...some places will make you pay like 50 bucks for 6 weeks of room and board. Its insane! So great for us. Well good luck getting here and good luck on your interview. And have fun in your last year before medical school...everything that you do, you will laugh at next year because all schooling before med school is a complete joke. I just got a masters in human genetics last year, which I thought was challenging, but now I look back and just laugh at that work which I thought was hard. So have a good time this year...go out all the time, make sure you still get good grades, but don't stress over it because med school will give you more stress than you can ever imagine. Its very fun and challenging and completely worth it if you really want to be a doctor.
