Hi, so I am currently trying to decide which medical school to attend next year and have been accepted to and researched a fair amount on both Nova Southeastern and Midwestern-Downer's Grove
So far it seem like both schools have a solid reputation (which I've heard doesn't play a major role in residency anyway) and both seem to have the teaching style and resources that educate students well. In addition for both I have heard that the rotation sites are setup well for students and the school doesn't make the students to the work to set them up on their own for the most part (correct me if I'm wrong, this is how I interpreted it from the information that I read).
Since I have lived in Wisconsin all my life, the location of Downer's Grove would be nice (only two hours away from friends and family). But like most of you, I would love the opportunity to be in a warm place with beaches. Since tuitions are similar, I just had a few last questions and would really appreciate it if anyone could give me their input.
I realize that there is almost no time for social activities and school must be taken very seriously in medical school. Despite this I am a social person and was wondering which school would be more friendly and easier to fit into socially? I do a like to go out with friends and usually like to hang out with people in my free time. Also, if you know, do most people at NOVA do rotations and live in Miami for their last two years then?
I appreciate your help and any input is appreciated!
