Young Faithful,
Hope all is well in your world and that my post doesn't come to late. I'm a 4th year at KCOM and have been very pleased with my education. If you have specific questions please feel free to email me.
Like the 1st year poster from KCOM mentioned, KCOM has multiple sites at which to rotate, including several in Michigan, however, it also provides you with opportunities to rotate in other parts of the country.
Remember that in your 4th year, no matter what school you attend, you will have some elective time. This time will be spent in programs where you think you might want to pursue a residency position. For instance, in my 4th year I did two out-rotations, one at the Cleveland Clinic and the other at the University of Nebraska.
Ultimately, I agree again with the 1st year KCOM poster. Medical school is brutal. You will become very close with your classmates and you will depend on them and they you. You will become great friends with them, and, like all friendships, you'll want to spend time with them. Yes the 'Ville is small, however, it is a great place to spend your 1st two years of medical school.
I have several very good friends, who I have met through the Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA), who attend MSU and who love it, however, I wouldn't trade the experience or the KCOM education, for me it has been very rewarding.
Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
