heh, I thought most people joked about San Antonio. No offense to those guys, but I really couldn't believe it when they started out the day with: "We know that widespread opinion is that this is an "easy" school, but we are doing all we can to dispell it..."
That kinda left me in shock.
But that's the way in Texas...everyone wants to go to Houston or Baylor and no one wants to go anywhere else.
I think the only thing anyone ever says about Tech has nothing to do with the medical school, but how much they hate Lubbock. Cry me a river. I grew up in West Texas, so I actually like Lubbock quite a bit. I think it is an incredibly comfortable place to live, as compared to Houston, Dallas or San Antonio. It is a bit of a shock if you are used to East Texas green though. :wink:
My cousin goes to Tech as well, and I know from talking to him that the education is just as good if not better than the other medical schools in Texas.
If you want to ask about the area, I'll be glad to help out. I'm pretty familiar with it, and getting better since I moved up here in May.
