So what medical schools do you guys think are in good locations? you know, where students are happy and have fun!

The ones closest to the beach.

Andy Dufresne: You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific?
Red: No.
Andy Dufresne: They say it has no memory. That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory.

Tulane (and New Orleans, in general) seemed like a there was always something fun to do. The added warmth doesn't hurt either 😉 Personally, I'd be happy and make things fun where ever I decide to go, but having a city conducive to such pursuits is niiiiice

I heard once there was some sceintific pole that shows you will actually hate the city you go to med school in regardless of where you go.

Is that true?

depends on the individual i guess to some extent.

and to answer your question I have no idea! But if u come to Canada I would suggest Western!! yay 😀 or UBC everyone seems to love it out there

Depends... how large was this pole and were there strippers on/around it?

I go to school in DC and it is amazing, FYI.

Would love to live up that way for a while. My brother lives in NY and I have yet to go visit. Maybe I'll land a residency somewhere cool. Although I love Galveston for what its worth.

mountains are cool b/c you can ski or ride if you enjoy that. Some folks prefer urban areas or rural areas; I'd think "fun" depends on which type of area you enjoy!

Med students having fun? I have never heard of such a concept.

 

[scrambizle]

Jefferson is a pretty relaxed place (as far as med schools go), and we have the block system for 1st and 2nd year so you will have many post-exam weekends with nothing to study. There's always stuff to do in Philly and everyone lives within walking distance of each other. 3rd year is hard everywhere, and 4th year is awesome everywhere (although I've realized we have a little less vacation time than some other schools).

USC SOM is cozy and really friendly. Makes you feel welcome and appreciated more than most I have heard. Treat you like a person and not a student...

UVa for the mountains and the campus activities. Charlottesville is a pretty cool college town.

NYU, Cornell and Mount Sinai for the city.

The students at Penn seemed like they had a blast. The curriculum is so conducive to student happiness lol.

👍 I live a bit outside of DC. Students here are generally happy (as happy as medical students can be), and the DC area is great! 🙂
