Some commenters raised concerns about mentorship and support within the department, while others referenced a leadership transition and an internal review tied to resident survey feedback. A few posts also noted lower-than-expected match numbers in a recent cycle.

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.

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.
