"I read SDN, and expected a lot of ethical/moral questions because it is a conservative school." Report Response
"The small class size (64) and the awesome city of Mobile. Also, the brand new library that the school has built, not the biomedical library, but the big university library." Report Response
"The tour did not show us anything about the school. All we saw was the lobby of the biomedical library, and the 2nd year classroom..not even the first year classroom! Plus, the tour was given by 2nd year medical students and so was the informal discussion at lunch; essentially, these guides provided no useful information for incoming students. Also, none of the guides were from America; they were all Canadian, and could not relate to the native Alabamian in terms of the criteria that a local resident would make in choosing USA. Finally, a big negative was that the school did not describe the curriculum or rotation schedule in any detail. Also, the interviews were NOT on campus, and most of us had to drive far away to get to remote places!!! You will find out where to go once you arrive at the interview orientation, but not earlier! Also, most of the class in married and white; so don't go there thinking you will hook up, unless it's with your existing husband/wife! " Report Response
"That USA Medical Center is on the verge of shutting down!!! " Report Response
"South is a great school and a great medical school... I did not like how they did not provide us with detailed curriculum/rotation outlines like the other med schools do...also, for a small school it is very disorganized, requiring interviewees to drive all over the city of mobile for remote interviews! i've never seen nor heard of any other school that does this; usa should instead have panel interviews which would be more efficient...south's main strength is actually its campus; it has a brand new library and a nice campus where u can also meet undergrads...the city of mobile is also really awesome and way better than the city of birmingham...uab however is much much more organized and professional that south alabama, with detailed curriculum outlines and student tour guides who actually give a tour of the school's facilities! south alabama is a good medical school but i noticed most of the kids there are married, so it may not be a lively place to go to to get an active social life; finally, uab has a lot of hotter chicks...however, all this being said, i would probably go to south alabama over uab because it is in mobile, and the weather is hotter down there and closer to the beach..."
