U of A - Tucson vs. SUNY Upstate

[FlightMDBen]

Need some advice again, still sharply divided between the pros and cons of both schools. Non-Traditional Mid 20s Vet.

University of Arizona - Tucson
Pros:
- Beautiful Campus
- Great Vibes @ Interview
- Community Outreach
- Societies / Distinction Tracks
- Scholarly Project
- Cheaper In-State / Living

Cons:
- Unsure about Banner Health Hospital
- Farther from Family (East Coaster)
- Seems more Primary Care oriented (want to specialize)

SUNY Upstate
Pros
- Responsive Administration
- One Month Pre-MD school program
- Great East Coast residency matches
- University Hospital in Syracuse seems pretty strong
- Family on East Coast

Cons
- Syracuse seems less lively
- Not much on campus for outreach
- More expensive (still In-State)
- Lived on East Coast all life

Summary - Both are comparable I think, but open to comments, thoughts suggestions on the schools for someone who wants to specialize.

You want to be on the east coast and it's closer to family, so or that I'd pick Upstate. I'm assuming cost isn't too much more?

the SUNY match list is way way better

I think SUNY is better for specializing, UA has an emphasis on primary care
