Hello everyone,
I recently got accepted into medical school and its in the middle of nowhere. I am honored to finally be a med student and excited to start my career in healthcare, but the only school I got accepted into is in a rural location. I would like some opinions from those who were/or are in my situation. Did you have a hard time liking your experience or did you take little weekend trips outside of the area to recuperate? I am especially concerned about my SO who will be moving with me (and is not a student anymore) about the lack of options surrounding us. For those of you in rural or very suburban settings, do you find yourself trapped, or unhappy with your situation? Or were you so busy that you didn't even notice the difference? How did your SO's fare?
