Hi everyone,

I was recently accepted to two great schools, Touro and Midwestern in Arizona. I have to decide which school to attend and I would need some advice. There are pros and cons for each school (which might not even be a pro or con depends on the perspective).
My husband and a dog and two cats will move with me as well.

Here is my opinion about the two schools and the locations
For MWU (AZ), it is closer to California which I am at now and buying a house would be easier as it is cheaper. When I went to the school for an interview, I thought that the class is not as diverse as I wish to be. Facility and faculties were all nice. Glendale seemed a bit boring (which means it could be peacful) but clean.

For Touro, I was not able to visit the campus unfortunately so I could not really feel the vibe of the students and faculties.. It seems like the education is good despite the fact that the school is new. Buying a house might not be easy in New York. IMO, the locations and diversity are the most appealing part of this school.

From reading a lot of other people's post, I feel like a lot of people choose a school that is closer to home and cheapest. There isn't much price difference if you count living cost and my parents are not in the U.S. so being close to California isn't a big deal. However, I do want to live in California in further future. I want to choose the best option for my career and quality of life for both my husband and me.

Can you guys give me some advice on how I should make decision and what are some important factors I need to consider for choose a program?

For this reason alone, I would not go to that school. You can't make an informed decision without having an idea of what you will be getting into.

I'd agree here. Scottsdale and downtown Phoenix are only 15-20 minutes away, lots of things to do/see in those areas.
