UF vs Case
UF
pros:
- nice weather
- more global health opportunities than Case
- lecture is recorded and non-mandatory
- affordable housing within walking distance of campus
- less expensive (49k OOS) but could become IS (37k) after year 2 (over 4 years this is about a 85k total difference in price)
- earlier clinical exposure
- seemed like a very welcoming environment
cons:
- not within driving distance to S.O. or family (far away from both)
- Gainsville...college town so there is less to do
- less free time / less flexible schedule than Case (spend maybe 4-5 hours a week in class first year, maybe 7-8 more hours a week 2nd year)
- primarily lecture based curriculum
- students seemed more stressed out
- 2nd year the schedule becomes more crowded than 1st year as in there's more mandatory stuff you have to go to)
- exams every 4 weeks and are Multiple choice
Case
Pros:
- IQ sessions more engaging than lecture
- less than 4 hours driving from S.O. (long distance either way - been dating for 5+ years so it's a serious relationship) & closer to family by 4 hours
- research requirement
- prestige / possibly more opportunities due to prestige and higher rank (T25)
- more flexible scheduling and time outside of class than UF
- students seemed very relaxed
- beautiful and new health education campus
- non-mandatory lecture
- more diversity in student body
- Cleveland clinic
- exams only every few months and are essay based
Cons:
- Cleveland ( I really hate the cold)
- full price (65k tuition)
- no global health program until next year 2020
- affordable housing not within walking distance of new campus
- lecture not recorded
- really no clinical exposure until 3rd year
- larger student body this year so it seems like it would be harder to do things like volunteering at the free clinic
Summary: I don't get off any of my 3 WL I would attend over both these schools, I need to decide between the two. Case seems like a better fit academically and is closer to my support systems although I think I would like living in Florida way more and it would be a cheaper option for me. I really like UF's early clinical exposure and global health opportunities, but it seems like my schedule would be significantly less flexible than at Case so it may be harder to do research and extracurriculars that I want to do at UF.
