If you had to pick between these two schools (OOS for both) what would you pick?

I'm a bit partial towards Loyola, as I'm most likely going there next year. What's the tuition difference between the two, though? Loyola's tuition is the only reason I'm considering going elsewhere.

I dunno much about Loyola, but MSU has a strong focus on primary care. So you don't want to go there if you want to specialize.

MSU's class size is actually increasing to 156 this year with the new Grand Rapids campus expansion

Tuition at MSU as an OOS student is actually a bit higher than that.

why don't you tell us what you are looking for in a school, and what YOU think the pros and cons are.

Im not interested in primary care. I will have a masters degree in biomedical engineering and would love to do something like radiology, ortho surg, emerg medicine (this is subject to change of course when I start med school).

Loyola: gorgeous facilities, nicest gym in the world, extremely friendly people, but a bit far from the city (thats the only con i can think of)

MSU: great facilities, very friendly people, didnt think much of east lansing, they are big on primary care (im not) seems dead when the undergrads arent around, expen$ive!!

I liked both schools but im leaning towards Loyola. Just wanted to see how SDN felt about the 2 schools.
