Most beatiful medical school campuses in the country

[BombsAway]

UNECOM. Some of the professors dock their sailboats right next to the school.

I was just there. Took the long way to Bar Harbor just to visit the campus. They have a building with seals, with their whiskery faces!! You can go for a jog past adorable cottages and run out to an island at low tide. Count me in!

I lived in an awesome five bedroom house on Biddeford Pool for less than a closet would cost in Manhattan. And you can do the seal release a couple times a year and either watch or help send the seals back into the wild, it's super cute.

I have a recurring dream that I get a Texas MD acceptance and a UNE DO acceptance and I have to choose between happiness and "what's better for your career". I choose happiness.

Go to Texas dude.

i'm trying to get out!

There's always residency to get out.

University of Tennessee Health Science Center is smack-dab in the middle of Memphis, with their buildings still from the 1960's. Ugliest I've seen in-person. They're trying to renovate and put up new buildings, but it's so damn slow... the medical district is just a few blocks away from downtown and the only way they could get it done in decent time is if they did it at night...

Education is amazing though

Wow! And I thought Dartmouth was the best!

Is there any plan for a MD school in that corner of the world?

 

[piii]

I live near Harvard med, they have a huge beautiful campus, but it's in a really busy area in between like 10 colleges and 3 hospitals lmao

Why would that make you lmao?

 

[CavsFan2016]

Don't question the man. let him live his life.

 

[XxThaDoggxX]

Emorys is pretty beautiful.

USC Greenville I think is the best I've seen. The anatomy lab has floor to ceiling Windows, each station has a 40 inch touch screen TV, and the table is surrounded by vents that suck away the formaldehyde smell. They also have many of the walls made of frosted glass or white board paint, as well as many of the tables so you can literally draw wherever you want

For the price of their tuition it better be!!!

 

[holycrap]

Why would that make you lmao?

I use lol and lmao as filler words, sometimes it just makes the sentence sound better.

Lmao yea. Acom is pretty gorgeous!

 

[MareNostrummm]

Why not both?!

Well if two schools were identical but one had a nicer looking campus then yes.. but that's rarely the case. Its just not a determining factor for me beyond certain scenarios.

 

[holycrap]

I agree lol

Sometimes you gotta becareful though because it can come off as condescending "lol ok" sounds worse than "ok" you know what I mean

 

[Person1345]

The Univ. of Utah is pretty sweet

 

[Psai]

Who cares what a school looks like from a helicopter view when you spend 99% of your time inside?

I care.

Also your profile pic is wierd.

 

[JustAPhD]

Erroneous.

 

[hurtem&healem]

I would change this to, "Who cares what a school looks like from a helicopter view when you spend 100% of your time on the ground?"

That UCSF photo looks really cool, but walking around it probably just looks like any other city block. Now, cities certainly have their own allure, but concrete is not what I would call "beautiful."
As for HMS... having lived a couple blocks away, I don't even understand how it's in this discussion. They have a lawn with a few trees, but otherwise it's just a few buildings in Mission Hill. Call it LMA all you want, it's still Mission Hill.

Otherwise, hurray for the three other NE schools that do belong on this list

University of Hawaii, Stanford

 

[CavsFan2016]

so...who wants to come to University of Hawaii with me?

 

[Mclovin0351]

I hear Quinnipiac is pretty nice, especially in the fall.

I can vouch for Quinnipiac

 

[CavsFan2016]

^ bump. I won't let this thread die - I enjoy looking at the pictures that people post too much. Anybody else know of any cool campuses?

 

[BeachBlondie]

I second UNECOM:

 

[hurtem&healem]

Since we're doing helicopter views. I present, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College,

And Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center

Now if they would just send me my damn II...

I respect their lifestyle, but living in Utah means living by their rules. Utah(TM) is run by Mormons, for Mormons. Its kind of like moving to certain Middle Eastern countries. Wouldn't recommend it in most cases.

For more on this, I recommend everyone watch the movie SLC Punks

[Cyberdyne 101]

Wait, did someone just invoke Burnett's Law on page 2 of a med school picture thread?! Gotta love sdn

 

[Lucca]

Wtf is Burnett's Law?...

All arguments between pre-meds reach their terminal point when someone invokes pity for another's hypothetical patients.

AKA pre-med corollary of "All arguments on the internet terminate with one party being called a Nazi"

 

[Horse Apiece]

I remember this, LOL!

Yup, my future patients be damned. Don't count me out of my own crusade!

The University of Vermont.

Wow, that is really beautiful.

I agree with your point generally, but as someone who lived a few blocks from UCSF specifically, I have to tell you that it is pretty epically beautiful.

 

[tuco's revenge]

These schools are immensely beautiful. but I still have to go with touro ny. its so convenient. you can eat, live, buy shoes, random jewelry, sleep, and study in one building

Dude honestly they should really just buy out the first floor. I know it's NYC, but come on.

Also, what's up with that sign? It looks so cheap... like a K-Mart sign or something. IMO they need a new sign. Make it black with white or gold lettering. Use a thinner, more dignified serif font.

Kinda like this:

LMAO dignified serif font. the sign is obscenely bad. I agree

 

[NimbleNavigator]

Wow, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse:

WTF is Touro thinking? What kind of self-respecting institution puts a freaking ad in their front window?

People in healthcare already know who they are - no need to advertise. This just makes them look super tacky, like those Carib schools that advertise everywhere.

 

[tuco's revenge]

@NimbleNavigator lol not that K-mart sign, im talking about this one. you cant even see it

The Mission Bay Campus is also beautiful!!

You might be surprised to know that Salt Lake City is one of the more liberal cities in the West. The elected mayor of SLC is lesbian, and they have passed some comprehensive LGBT protection laws as well. But hey, if you wish to not apply to Utah based on absurd assumptions, fine by me.

Well if you can settle for doing most of your preclinical time in Boston, you can do the Maine Track at Tufts and spend third and fourth at Maine Med in Portland and/or one of the rural hospitals (Rockport, Damariscotta, Norway, etc).

 

[AlteredScale]

Valegos Medical Education Building at CUMC/Columbia College of Surgeons and Surgeons is absolutely mindblowing. Beautiful design.

What are you saying, TUSM doesn't have a nice campus? I mean, I know it's no Touro NYC, but...
