SGU vs Technion

Hey guys, I'm having this dilemma of deciding which school is better St. George's University or Technion Medical Institute of Technology in Israel. I got accepted to SGU for their Global Scholars program where I would study my first year at Northumbria in Newcastle, England and the 2nd year in Grenada and the 3 and 4th years in the states. Technion is all 4 years in Israel. I think Technion is the better choice slightly but not sure. What you guys think. SGU and come back to states after 2 years or Israel for 4?

I have no quantitative insight about either school, but if they both are on fairly equal grounds education wise, here is the way I would think about it. It would be a very cool experience to be able to study medicine in three different locations throughout medical school, rather than in just one. Plus the rotations would be in the U.S. which would be nice to start making contacts here if you plan on doing residency/practicing in the states.

SGU hands down. Remember though: The UK is expensive! Plan on bringing lots of $$. (I found out the hard way from a semester im Birmingham.)

First, OP, your inquiry isn't going to be answered here.

The carribean forum might have some better insight, but, if I were you I would contact a residency director or two and ask them. They will have more insight than any of us will. See if you can find anyone from the israeli school in the US and contact them too.

Second in response to one of the above posters, having a disruption like having to move somewhere else during medical school is the last thing you could want. Med school is hectic enough.
