ICOM
Pros
- Location, communities, and activities around meridian/boise
- Secular, progressive, rural medicine focus
- Stronger west coast ties
Cons
- Price- tuition and COL
- For-profit status
- Large class size
LUCOM
Pros
- All people I met were lovely, students were passionate about the school, really enjoyed my interview
- Appeared more established with more robust enrichment opportunities
- COA
Cons
- the larger institution's advocacy of far-right conservative politics is a major con
- Location
I ultimately want to end up on the PNW/CA after graduation, and obviously trying to minimize debt. ICOM feels pretty unknown to me as I have only experienced it virtually. Friends are telling me I'd do better overall at ICOM, family is telling me LUCOM is the more responsible choice
