WCUCOM
Pros

• P/F grading
• No mandatory attendance
• Lax dress code (you wear scrubs)
• Has a positive reputation amongst students who attend there
• Better weather

Cons

• More expensive tuition (47k a year)
• Farther from home as I live in the East Coast (VA)

LECOM-Erie
Pros

• Cheaper tuition (37k a year)
• Closer to home
• Great reputation amongst residencies with great match list

Cons

• Weather is definitely worse
• Mandatory attendance
• Strict dress code
• Some students really do not like the school

I am at odds as to which school to pick so any insight would be awesome from current students!

Usually I’d say stay close to home, but I would not choose LECOM Erie if you have a choice.
