Hello everyone, I was accepted to both of these programs yesterday and would love your opinion regarding which I should choose! Also, I still have an interview scheduled for A.T Still Missouri for mid-December. Do you recommend that I attend it?

I never thought I would be in this position of choosing between two acceptances, I feel very blessed!
Here are my thoughts towards each:

Midwestern IL-
-nice campus and town and good proximity to downtown Chicago.
-However, when I toured, I didn't feel a community feel from the current students.
-Costs more (Tuition 70K)
-Large class: 130 seats (negative)
-Boring 4th-year program. It's four (each ~ 1week long) externship in neighboring areas. The ambassador told me that students generally just drive back and forth every day.
-only 3.5 hours flight to home (southwest state)

UNE- Portland-
-nice but small campus
-super close to downtown Portland.
-small class: 64 seats (positive)
-When I toured, everybody seemed friendly and close to one another.
-Costs less (Tuition 60k)
-4th year, you get to choose an externship in any of the northeast states.
-7 to 8 hours flight home (southwest state)

What are your thoughts or comments?


Good luck to everyone in the cycle!!

ya, that's the one I'm leaning toward but I'm just looking for what others might have to say. Maybe regarding reasons I haven't thought of already. Also, thank you and good luck to you!!
