UNC Chapel Hill vs. Quinnipiac Netter
Please help me decide!

UNC pros
- Highly ranked, strong reputation/track record
- Has home hospital
- More opportunities for research
- Close to family

UNC cons
- I went here for undergrad
- Larger class size (230)

Netter pros
- Close to boyfriend and other fam
- In New England, connections in NYC, Yale, other hospitals up north
- Smaller class size
- Most students match up north
- $20k scholarship, making it equal to UNC in-state

Netter cons
- Lesser known, less opportunities given up front
- No home hospital, rotations all over CT
- Not big on research

I'm just trying to figure out if it's silly to give up UNC for the experience at Netter / whether I could still get the same education and opportunities at Netter. Any advice is appreciated!

UNC every day of the week and twice on Saturday. No reason to give up a T30 school for a newer, less recognizable program with no associated residency positions that is the same price. Matching in a specific region is no longer difficult with regional and program-specific signaling.

Yeah there is no reason not to pick UNC here unless being close to family/boyfriend is a big deal to you. You didn't mention how close but if that isn't a big factor, then UNC is the obvious pick here.

This isn’t even a question. UNC is light years ahead of Netter
