Hi everyone!
Congrats to all who have gotten offers so far...
I was dying to get my offers and finally having got... a couple, im already really lost cuz i dont know what or why to choose either university... i mean, there are the reasons that i pointed out in the interview when they asked... like PBL vs Not.... but without prior experience etc... i really would not be able to say what system i would honestly prefer... Anyways I was just looking for advice on the following universitys and maybe a pros and cons on them:
Manchester 2013 entry 5 year Medicine course
Dundee 2013 entry 5 year Medicine course
Is there any 'really strong' reason i would choose one over the other... i mean in terms of student satisfaction, teaching style, location (from what i have researched dundee is a little more inaccessible), student life (night life / eca's / opportunities / exposure in terms of activities), Cost of living...international student communities, (level of racism / discrimination / level of acceptance of all the peoples of the world lulz -- Basically the kind of community) etc etc....,
another question is to what extent does the university that u get ur med degree from affect future prospects in terms of specialization, earnings, respect (from others within the community), opportunities to move forward careerwise in a hospital setting (ie gain leadership roles etc apart from basic stuff that everyone does), opportunities to teach in unis....
Thanks guys
