OHSU (OOS) vs OU (IS)

[justforfun15]

Hi SDN! I was accepted to the University of Oklahoma (IS) and just recently got accepted to OHSU (OOS). I feel like the safest and most comfortable option would be OU since I'm in state, but OHSU was my "long-shot" school and somehow I got in! I've always heard OU has a strong clinical program but I'm not really sure how they compare nationwide? I would like to go to a school where I won't need to do a residency to practice general Would appreciate any and all thoughts.

OU (IS)
Pros

• in-state
• strong (?) clinical program
• already familiar with area
• cheaper leaving expenses

Cons

• not really any besides me wanting to leave oklahoma
• i also know like everyone in my class and just want to start fresh with new people and new experiences

OHSU (OOS)
Pros

• strong clinical program
• beautiful area
• possible research opportunities
• would use the heck out of public transportation
• great opportunities for photography (i'm trying to grow my side hustle)

Cons

• out of state tuition
• more expensive living expenses
• moving expenses

OU. 100k more in loans is not worth all of the things you mentioned.

Not even close. OU. No school is worth an extra 6 figures of debt.
