If you were interviewed on site, did you spend time speaking with students and finding out how satisfied they are with the ambience and the education? Did you find out how much experience you will get working with clinic patients? In larger cities like NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago there are no shortages of clinic patients. If you are a "happy camper" wherever you are you will be lessed stressed out, do well, get your degree and open up shop wherever you want to. Ultimately, your skill depends on you, not the podiatry school.
If you are a capable podiatrist your patients will be satisfied and you will be satisfied. Patients will not choose you because they know what podiatry school you graduated from and check with their list of
prestige podiatry schools.
