Reading this thread just makes me laugh.
You think you're the guinea pigs huh? Try being in the first class at the NEW campus. We had hiccups, you've got usual medical school woes. We like it up here... mostly. Our professors stay in anatomy lab until 2 am on weekends to teach us, we get assigned "free" tutors for any subject the day we request it (nothing in medical school is free). Lots of parking, helpful faculty and staff, and overall an excellent education... which is what I'm paying for... not the parking. Once you get into systems, you'll appreciate the curriculum more.
Some of us joke that we should be paying tuition to wikipedia and youtube. It's not unique to COMP to need to look something up once in a while. I've heard it from several MD and DO students from all over the country.
I'm also a second year at Western COMP. As potentially one of your future patients- suck it up. There's a lot of blaming and entitlement among medical students. Take some personal responsibility for your circumstances. I'm sorry you're struggling- it will get better. Maybe you should do the campus exchange and get some fresh Oregonian air? Meet some of our super stellar staff? We have a ping pong table.
Any pre-meds thinking of applying feel free to PM me.
