Hey everyone. I'm new to the forums and wanted to see what information current medical students can provide about UAB and South Alabama. While it is difficult to know which option is better for me solely from interviewing and searching the web, I will list my personal pros and cons for each school below. I am most interested in information people can provide on how their curriculums differ, overall student happiness, and ability to match in a competitive specialty. I am reluctant to choose UAB based off of interview day because South was so welcoming and really seemed to want us there. South also has a smaller class, which might provide more individual attention. However, I'm wondering if these attitudes prevail once classes actually start. I am in-state, so that is not a factor. Thanks in advance!
USA
pros: Small class size, faculty/professors really seemed to care about students on interview day, easier to get around campus/park
cons: research opportunities may be lacking, farther from home (slightly)
UAB
pros: well-known, great research opportunities, student amenities
cons: larger class, located downtown, hard to find an apartment(?)
