RVU-CO vs MSU-COM

[California1904]

Hey all, I just want to say I appreciate your advice/input in advance.
I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to make a decision between the two, I just want to be making the right one.

RVU-CO
Pros

• Curriculum/Board Scores
• Location (SO, Family, Skiing)
• UltraSound Emphasis in curriculum

Cons

• Unclear on what rotations look like, quality?
• Reputation? (I read a lot of issues with CU and "for-profit status", I'd like to learn more about these)

MSU-COM
Pros

• Established/Reputation
• Research
• Stable/Strong Rotations

Cons

• Distance from home
• Concerned about limited opportunities outside of Michigan

Summary: I like that RVU-CO offers a great osteopathic education in an awesome location for me. However, I worry about their rotations and reputation. I like that MSU-COM is reputable and established, I feel comfort in their established rotation sites. However, I feel more uncomfortable moving to Michigan than Colorado. Are both schools at about the same "level" that I should just pick which one I'll be happiest at?

Have you considered cost as well or is that a non factor

Thank you for your reply. Yes I have considered cost, the amount of indebtedness I come out of both situations in my situation will be fairly similar.
