ok so everyone's been asking, i thought i'd do the same.

i've read all the threads about old vs new schools and i know the risks. but just wondering which school you guys would choose.
 
I just posted something similar to someone else, but basically the two locations are like night and day. I've actually lived in both places sort of (grew up in NYC and lived in rural VA on the border of WV). Anyway, personally, I would want to avoid the stress of living in NY during medical school, but that is a personal choice. Also, if you really value seeing a big diversity of patients, you'd get a better clinical experience with that in NYC.

Which school did you feel most comfortable at? That is how you should pick, because you'll do better there.
