LECOM vs. OHSU (OOS)

I'm from California, so I'm OOS for both schools. LECOM would be cheaper, but I'm leaning more towards OHSU because of location (also a lot closer to home), weather (I prefer the cold), P/F, more established school, environment...Any thoughts?

LECOM: ~94k a year
OHSU: ~110k a year

What’s the price difference?

If it’s a similar cost, then I’d say OHSU since you seem to prefer that school.

about 70k difference

LECOM total: ~376k
OHSU total: ~440k

On a 10 yr repayment, it's roughly $4500 vs $5500 per month once you factor in compounding interest for a 10yr plan. So cost wise, you'll have to determine if OHSU is worth the extra $1k a month for 10 years.

I personally enjoyed LECOM. Only thing that I don't like is that there have supposedly been talks of them increasing the class size to 150 whereas OHSU is much much smaller. I haven't heard much about OHSU nor have I been there so I can't really comment on them.

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it 🙂
