So, lots of snow with lobsters and fishing boats? Nope, I don't know of any international schools that would fit that description save for some of the Canadian ones.

Why are you considering going to an international school to study medicine? Are you aware of the difficulties in becoming a practicing physician in the US if you train outside of North America? It sounds like a lot of fun, but believe me, the hassles are generally not worth it if you can get into a US or Canadian school. BTW, you'll need to do more than "pre-med" studies if you want to practice in the US - you need at least 90 units which would include general education and most complete their undergrad degree before starting medical school.

There are no cheap medical schools anywhere, except for some of the states with government subsidies for residents (ie, California). Most of the international schools worth attending are fairly expensive and require loans to pay for them (as do most US schools). As for "lots of teachers that would be around" - highly variable.

Well, you're in for a suprise. Medical students and the medical community in general, aren't known for being nice and sweet - something to do with being a Type A personality, the work load, pay cuts, etc.

So, in the end, I'm not sure what answer to give you. Perhaps you could enlighten us on your reasons for studying medicine abroad.
