Most favorite/least favorite things about your school

[ciderbun96]

What school do you go to and what is your favorite thing about it and what is one of your least favorite things about it?

As a pre-pod I feel like this could be a fun and useful "guide" of sorts for us pre pods. Obviously opinions should be taken with a grain of salt, but it's always good to get a general consensus on what students like/dislike about their school.

Thanks!

Welp... I only interviewed at one school so I am as biased as this thread is gonna get. lol
But really... going to Barry in fall and there are a couple things that I liked a lot about the school.
1) They emphasized the amount of clinical exposure that we will encounter because they are affiliated with 3 difference hospitals.
2) I overall got this very welcoming energy.
3) Location wasn't the best. Weatherrrrrrr tho>>>>>>>>

Midwestern:
1: classes with the DO students in all basic sciences
2: 100% boards part 1 pass rate in the most recent cycle
3: third year rotations are in Phoenix, and once you start you never have to be in a classroom again, and all of my third year rotations have been heavily surgical
4: new dean, fresh blood, fresh ideas- just started funding student research projects out of his own pocket basically
5: small class size of 30, will be increased to 40 next year
6: in one of the safer neighborhoods in the surrounding phoenix area
Anything else, feel free to ask. I interviewed at all 9 schools.
