Alrighty,

Hi guys, this is my first post on here, but I have been lurking around for the past few months.

I am fortunate enough to get to choose between Pitt and Case. Both these schools seemed very welcoming and I am having a heck of a time picking one over the other.

As far as I gather until now:
- Case: top notch facilities, friendly environment, you have your own chair for 3rd and 4th year, you get a "secretary" for every 12 or so students, nearly 100% of students complete their requirements on time, everytime.
UNKNOWNS: student life (I'm in my early 20's and single), safety of the area near the campus, how does the pass/fail system work? and is that the way to go?

- Pitt: more than adequate facilities, superfriendly environment, beautiful location (construction on "cardiac hill" left me thoroughly impressed), student life potential (they had a b-ball game in the peterson events center the night b4 the interview, and after the game it was swarming with students (and pretty girls)), interesting town with a lot of activities.
UNKNOWNS: they claimed that all their students finish on time because they shuffle patients around b/w 3rd and 4th years but is that so?, the clinics on the tour were not that filled with patients, do you get your own chair? is that a problem if not?

Being out of state for pitt, the costs end up as near as makes to difference to case. So we'll say cost is not a factor on this one.

I have seen a lot of people very excited about Case on here and I can see why, but I am slightly worried about about student life in Cleveland.

Feel free to answer the questions, correct me if I'm wrong and add your own concerns please!🙂

Go to case because I might go there....me and you can rock the social life at Case.

Case is in an extremely safe part of town compared to the rest of East Cleveland. It is near Little Italy, and that is super safe and friendly. 🙂

PBL is going great according to a few students. I am strongly leaning towards C-town.

Good Luck

Tough choice. Watch their football game on Dec 7 ( Browns vs. Steelers ) then make your decision. 🙂 🙂 🙂
