UMD or Temple?

I am looking for a strong clinical program and am completely torn between University of Maryland and Temple. Tuition aside...I was really impressed with the technology available at UMD but it doesn't look like they see as many patients per year as Temple.

Thoughts?

Go to Temple, half of UMB class don't graduate on time because lack of patients we want.

On the flip side, sometimes Temple grads are delayed in graduation. However, it tends to be due to their lack of attendance in clinic 3rd and 4th year. Temple's Dean is instituting a mandatory 80% attendance in all classes starting this summer as well as mandatory attendance in clinic. Up until now we were pretty free to just schedule patients on our own... Both cities have a significant Medicaid population and high crime rates. Philly has better food!
