It's fine. You're smart to save money. I lived in a place not much bigger than that in med school. Small places are easier to keep clean, and don't look goofy with limited/cheap student furniture. Location is much more important.
You will find in med school (and residency) that standards of living differ widely. Quite a few people in my class drove late model cars, had condos downtown, ate out almost daily, shopped at Whole Paycheck. They weren't doing it on their own. Their parents were rich or loved them more than mine did. But I made do. I'm not bitter, it's just to say some people don't get it.
Regarding women, IMO your own place, however small, is better than the awkwardness that comes from living with roommates, especially colleagues - saves the women the worst of the walk of shame and believe me they think about these details. Too much drama in med school as it is. Do treat yourself to a full sized mattress - Overstock etc.. will deliver one on the cheap. I would get a more comfortable chair too if you're going to study there. Hang some cool stuff on the walls, keep it clean. Again, it's fine. You don't need a magazine-quality bachelor pad to impress women in their 20's unless they're unusually lame or your game is unusually weak.
