What are the pros/cons of Seton Hill?
Based off of what I've heard from both campuses (remember also that the primary differencea are restricted to the first 2 years of school):
Pros:
-Weather is much milder. You still get 4 seasons and decent snow, but nothing like Erie.
-Smaller class size (whatever that means to you)
-On an undergrad campus (again what that means to you - mainly that there are places on campus where LECOM rules for dress/food don't apply)
-No parking issues (but you have to walk up the hill since the parking lot is not next to the buildings like in Erie)
-PBL if Erie is full
-Class of 2015 Level 1 Pass rate was 100%, so it seems like they're doing something right and have at least somewhat worked out their "new campus" issues
-Less dealing with administration in Erie
Cons:
-Even less access to cadavers (Erie PBL has access to LDP cadavers, upon request, but I'm not sure how many people actually use them. Seton Hill PBL doesn't have that option, being hours away)
-Slightly higher tuition (in the hundreds of dollars per year, so not a big difference)
-Greensburg probably has even less to do in it than Erie. That said, Pittsburgh is only a 45min drive away and has much more to do there.
-Only one curriculum pathway (PBL)
-Still relatively new (started in 2009 and have one graduating class so far)
-Less dealing with administration in Erie (this is a pro and a con because while certain things are slightly more lax, you don't have the Erie admin there if/when you need them and so you have to wait longer for answers sometimes)
These are what few things I came across while researching. For the most part though Erie and Seton Hill are more similar than different.
