WVU vs Quinnipiac (Netter)

[Fremont101]

Quinnipiac
Pro: Nicer area, newer facilities. Really like the location.
Cons: Newer school, not that many research opportunities, more expensive, don't know anything about the hospital that they do rotations at

WVU
Pro: More established, cheaper by 10k/yr
Cons: Isolated location, not sure how well I would fit in

My goal is to match back into CA for residency, and based on QPAC first match list, they matched more people into CA. But because it's a newer school I only have their first year's match list to go off of. Any advice would be amazing!

What career goals do you have besides matching into CA?

Im actually not sure what field I want to go into, I know QPAC emphasizes primary care but they still matched a decent amount of people into specialties.

I interviewed at both schools last year and honestly loved them both. I just had a better "vibe" at WVU and felt more comfortable there, but I easily would have been happy at either location.

Yes, WVU is a bit isolated, but consider youre in a college town and not completely alone.

WVU matches a lot of students at their home programs, which they seem to have one for almost every specialty. That is a huge plus. Not sure about Netter in that regard.

WVU is definitely a chill school, all of the students were very laid back.
