thoughts on the chicago programs? other than NW obv
NYC has a lot of great programs (NYU, Columbia, Cornell, Sinai), but Chicago really only has NW. There are much better programs in the Midwest compared to the other Chicago programs
Yeah, there are so much better Derm programs in the Midwest than in Chicago, i.e. Wash U, Indiana, etc.
and Minnesota, Mayo
But Chicago programs have Chicago itself going for them; rest of the midwest is meh
Is Chicago that great of a city (I've never been)?
I have lived in both, and personally would take Minneapolis/St. Paul over Chicago any day. what does Chicago have that MSP doesn't, besides a giant metal bean?
lake michicagn, amazing restaurants, mediocore chicks, shootings
MN lakes > lake michigan, the food is slightly better in Chicago (I'll give you that) but MN still has great restaurants. plus it is so much cleaner, less corrupt, has less traffic/crime, and better outdoor activities and bike trails
I'll echo that besides Chicago, Minneapolis/St Paul is great, but so too is Madison. For university towns, Ann Arbor and Iowa City are nice (at least for three years). Not going to lie, Celeveland and St Louis are terrible
Agreed. Case and Cleveland Clinic were both excellent programs. Completely shitty as cities and terrible weather.
not great
