So...another one of these threads. I'm having trouble deciding between these two. Does reputation matter? Is it worth (in general), going somewhere that has a better reputation versus a better location?
Tufts
-Pros: Good operative experience, well-known program.
-Cons: In Boston (I'm a Southerner so New England isn't that much of a pull), travel between hospitals, not a ton of trauma
VCU
-Pros: RVA is an awesome town, good operative experience, trauma for days
-Cons: Reputation? I'm not really sure if this program is well known.
