Um google the schools and see what cool crap comes up?

 

[whimsical]

Hmm... we should revive the med school architecture thread...

Those Caribbean schools come to my mind...

Stanford is like MD disneyland. Or UCSD or UCI or UCLA...
Once you come to Cali, you never want to leave...

I don't agree with that.
So why you are leaving cali for med school? 🙄

California. End of story.

I've been here all my life. If there's any time in my life to go somewhere else, it's now. I'll definitely try to come back though for residency. 🙂

It just contradict to what you've said. [that once you are in cali you never wanna leave]

Sinai and UVA both have very relaxing atmospheres. At UVA, The medical school is connected directly to the undergrad campus and has brand new facilities, while at Sinai you're directly bordering central park and on 96th street in Manhattan. Both are pass/fail and have laid back students.

EVMS puts you right in Norfolk(very close to VA Beach). The Hampton Roads area is a lot of fun with some great stuff to do.

If you're into hiking/outdoorsy stuff consider a school in the Blue Ridge Mountains(WVU, Marshall, VTC).

Big mistake man! I thought the same way when I chose to go to an Ivy instead of UCLA.

I disagree.

I lived in Cali, happily left. There's a ton of CA people on this board so it always seems like the promised land, but it's just another place. It's like they give all Californians some weird Kool-aid.

But yes, admittedly, Stanford has the best weather in the world.

Honestly, I feel like the peninsula is either way hot or not warm enough in the winter. I'd much rather take Westwood or La Jolla for weather purposes, anyways.

California's way overrated. I gladly left as well.

I've always heard Tulane is really laid back and that New Orleans is a great setting.

In my home state...don't underestimate East Lansing (MSU) or Ann Arbor (U of M.) Both cities are pretty identical in character, lots of stuff to do, lots of fun to be had, although IMO East Lansing has more parties. The thing with living in a college town is literally EVERYTHING is centered on the 18-24 set, which can be fun or boring depending on what you want.

Snow sucks, though.

California is the best place to live. Ever.

I dunno, I've heard some fairly concerning things about crime/safety issues at Tulane.

If you like outdoors activities, schools like OHSU and UW are fantastic. If you really really like skiing, University of Utah would be great if you can tolerate the other stuff in that neighborhood.

I like it where I am in North Florida. If you are a nature person then it is great up here. The town, while not the greatest place ever, has plenty of cultural things to do and restaurants to keep you busy. The rent is pretty cheap. Drivable distance from New Orleans, Jacksonville, Tampa, Atlanta and Orlando.

On the med school side, we're the only show in town in about a 100 mile radius (+/- 20 miles). We have our half of the building that is exclusively for us where we have learning communities. Each learning community has about 30 people in it with a kitchenette, printers, couches, conference rooms, showers, etc. Everyone is pretty laid back as a whole, and aside from occasional phd students during the first year, we're the only ones in our lectures.

If you like beach you'll like UTMB. Plus, living cost in galveston is way lower than santa monica or la jolla. 👍👍👍
