Hello, I am here to get some feedback from both schools. I am having a hard time trying to decide between the two schools. I am from Texas and plan to come back to Texas after medical school. For specialties, I am leaning away from PC and more towards anesthesiology or orthopedics.
UIWSOM (San Antonio, Texas)
Pros
Touro-Nevada (Henderson, NV)
Pros
They both have similar tuition, but I think UIWSOM has more abit more in fees (parking and etc). Any other information or correction would be helpful in my decision. Thank you!
UIWSOM (San Antonio, Texas)
Pros
- Closer to home
- Possibly more in-state residency match
- San Antonio is a well populated area
- Pass/Fail system
- Mandatory attendance for most lectures/group works
- Professional attire during lectures
- Higher cost of living
- No open office (by appointment)
- New school (No statistics)
- Away from main campus, and a very small medical school
Touro-Nevada (Henderson, NV)
Pros
- No mandatory attendance (besides OMM/labs)
- Much cheaper cost of living (found a someone to share a house with)
- Do not have to buy any books for school as far as I know
- Henderson is a very nice area
- Open office
- Has good residency match with Texas and competitive specialties
- Far away from home
- School is has no windows (so far, lol)
