Hi all,
With the deposit coming up this Friday I have been back and forth on what school I want to attend for my medical education. I was incredibly impressed with both schools, but UNE COM is only an hour and a half drive compared to an hour and a half plane ride. Now location isn’t everything but I grew up in an insanely close family, so it would probably be better for my own comfort. Both schools have wonderful reputations and offered community feels. However, I’ve read a lot of concerning information about UNE COM that has made me question whether I want to attend. They have an attendance policy that seems to waste the time of students and make them work twice as hard (twice as long too) just to maintain solid grades. While at KCU the students seemed much more relaxed because classes weren’t mandatory and they could just watch the lectures in the comfort of their homes. I didn’t want mandatory lectures to be a dealbreaker but realizing the my time in medical school needs to be used effectively, I’m having second thoughts about UNE. In addition UNE is about 15k more than KCU. Being a new englander makes me want to attend UNE just to be in the hospitals around the area, but it’s hard to choose. It is an absolute honor to have been accepted to both schools, but I’m nervous as hell on making the right choice. Can a student from either school comment on their thoughts.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
