I am fortunate enough to have been accepted at both these schools (that's how everyone seems to start these threads!). However, I am having a really hard time deciding between which to attend. Can any current students comment on some of my questions? The IU stuff is directed towards the Indy campus.

IU-Indy:
What is the atmosphere like amongst students? Are they a pretty close-knit group?
Is it a cooperative atmosphere even though exams are usually graded on a curve?
What is the exam format for most classes? Is it similar to the USMLE?
Do many students attend all lectures, or do most learn material on their own time?
Is the faculty supportive, or are there many bad apples?

Loyola:
Is there any interaction with students from other academic departments?
Do you find that the cost of attendance gives you enough money to live comfortably?
Are the computer based exams very similar to the USMLE format?
Lastly, I would have to pay an extra 30K over the course of 4 years to go to Loyola, but I liked the atmosphere at Loyola a lot. If you do, why do you think it would be worth it to choose Loyola?

Thanks, guys! I really appreciate it.
