Word on the street is that Krabmas is being highly recruited by one of the programs in northern Florida
by northern do you mean just south of georgia? You know they want me
sorry we got off the subject of the thread.
The people that frequent this site are mostly from the midwest and know about those programs and some other selective programs.
usually if I say something like "florida students aren't as helpful as some other schools" they will start to post.
we'll see if that gets you more info.
See, I got you to post. Mission completed
I have friends at Barry and I know that not all students there are bad. But I have heard some of the issues that the students deal with.
When prospective students ask me about a school I tell them what I know about the school it self - the faculty, admin, facilities. things that are unlikely to change every year. The students change every year.
You two should have gone to DMU.
I'm at Barry and have talked with a few of the current 4th year students. All of them have a couple manditory "home months" in Miami, and many of them did some or even all 6 of their externships at south Florida clerkships also. It sounds like many Barry students want to stay in Florida due to family, so those spots get pretty darn competitive. I'm sure many northern students are looking to get to better weather also; Florida sure seems like paradise when you first get here.
. My Espanol is definetly mas o menos - heavily on the menos end. Many hispanic patients, especially elderly but even some younger ones, speak very little English. When you also add in the traffic and the humidity, it's still quite nice here but just not for me... I'll almost surely be heading back to the midwest circa Mich/Ohio/Penn. If I did do a Florida residency, I'd have to go to north Florida or the gulf side where the weather isn't quite so hot.
