Hopefully I dont get flamed for starting a thread like this but here goes..
I am torn between TouroNY and UNE.
Obviously UNE seems like it is well established and has had a lot of happy graduates. However the new Touro-ny is in an excellent location with many hospitals, schools, perhaps better for me in the future.
It would only seem to me that i would be more exposed to pathology in the city as compared to the rural areas. But Touro is a new school so I am worried about future matches connections. I have spoken to a doctor I am working with and he told me that it really doesnt matter where you graduate from because in the end, you are a DO regardless. He suggested that I should just go to school where I would want to practice.
Financially - TouroNY cost efficient for me because it is close to home.
School Program - UNE looks like they have a really good program. Although I cant say much for Touro bc its new but their satellite schools seem to be doing well. I still havent even really visited actual school yet because they are not 100% complete.
UNE is absolutely gorgeous... but not much to do (although i am sure with the amount of studying, i wont have time to do anything else)
So in the end, I guess I am just really worried about the rotations & residency placement for Touro. Anyone else have similar dilemma?
I am leaning towards UNE but I would hate to find out later on that Touro would've been a better due to its location!
