[holachica!]

Hello!
I am OOS for all three schools. Which school would you choose?

Rutgers:
-Already put initial deposit
-Offer on-campus housing (safe and close to classrooms)
-Newark might be dangerous
-Approx. 300K for tuition
-High cost of living
-Established, good school reputation

LECOM:
-Cheapest tuition. Approx. 240K
-Cheap cost of living
-PBL
-No on-campus housing

Touro:
-Has on-campus housing, but limited. Might not get it
-Cheap cost of living
-Tuition similar to Rutgers
-Advanced, modern technology & Nice facility
-New school, not many alumni

LECOM is cheapest but depending on your learning style, you might not enjoy PBL. Something to consider as I have heard it's pretty difficult

Hey! Thanks a lot for your comment. PBL is something that comes to me as negative too.
Also, not sure if I can get adjusted to FL life well too.
But, personally, you would choose LECOM?

PBL is definitely not for everyone. If you have questions about it feel free to message me. You also move D4 at lecom which might be a big factor. I almost went with Touro last cycle, but trying to find decent affordable housing was near impossible unless you roomed with multiple people.

Yes personally I would choose LECOM, but that's just my opinion. Doing well in school is based on the effort you put whether it's a more traditional curriculum or PBL, but if you truly don't feel it's something you can handle, then go to a school that will fit your needs best. You don't want to suffer in school as it will be hard enough or have any regrets. I would definitely talk to someone who has more knowledge on PBL though so you can decide for yourself
