I have been thinking about this for sometime and I was wondering if I could get some feedback from some SDNers. I have the fortunate problem of being accepted to four great DO schools, KCOM, KCUMB, LECOM Bradenton, and VCOM Carolina. I am from Florida, so being close to home makes a difference. Also, cost makes a difference. But the deciding factor is what school is going to help me become the best doctor. Any thoughts?

Would you prefer a louder, close-to-a-big-city campus or more quieter, rural area? I would say it's a tossup between the first two (unless you prefer PBL, in which case LECOM is definitely best for you).

I don't know much about VCOM though, so I'll let someone else figure that out.
