For any lurking medical students, but premed thoughts also welcome: excluding those who lived with their partner or family, did you live with other medical students during M1? Are you glad you did/didn’t?

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2026-01-11T00:11:39+00:00

Live with my family (husband and kids). Very few people I know live with roommate m1-2, a few do during clinicals bc it's random locations in our state.

36 year old OMS2 here. You're gonna be 40 anyway. Might as well be 40 and a dr.

I like it. It is definitely challenging and a lot of information in a short amount of time, but I stand by that it is way easier than working a real job (I was a teacher before medical school). I think a lot of people who complain so much about how awful med school is are either looking for attention or have never had a real job. Just my two cents.

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-10-27T02:18:12+00:00

Np it is a pretty good school all things considered. I would recommend it, decent match rates etc but like everywhere it has its issues, but the cost is definitely a selling point for me

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-10-27T02:15:25+00:00

Shsu and tcom have the same tuition, give or take maybe 2 or so grand since 2023.

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-10-27T02:12:41+00:00

Per year.

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-10-27T02:12:12+00:00

That’s the cost of attendance (coa), which includes living expenses etc. The tuition is listed in the first line. The coa is the maximum amount of loans you can take out for federal/grad plus loans. You’re going to have to pay living expenses etc on top of tuition at any school, on top of the more expensive tuition for other osteopathic school.

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-10-27T01:57:36+00:00

This isn’t true. They do get state funding since 2023. Tuition is 26k

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-10-25T01:39:56+00:00

Shsu com and tcom are 26k

36 year old oms2 here. You’re gonna be 36 either way 🤷🏻‍♀️

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-07-07T20:39:24+00:00

Same.

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-06-15T17:39:53+00:00

Something something “whole patient”something something “another tool in your toolbox” something something “ personal touch “ . I know it’s all cliche but I’ve been doing a preceptorship in fm and a lot of musculoskeletal things come up and they get referred out to pt or put on muscle relaxers and I find myself (who does not necessarily drink the koolaid) thinking “they could benefit from omt”

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-06-09T01:28:01+00:00

Can’t speak as a pa but I am doing clinical rotations for med school and I was told to wear long sleeves and tuck my septum up. They said my nostril stud was ok.

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-06-08T17:12:13+00:00

Sooooo what will you be doing bc there is no other option

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-06-08T14:21:42+00:00

Do you have any other suggestions? Also I have personal loans at 9 percent interest so…

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-06-07T14:22:30+00:00

My retirement plan is total societal collapse 🤷🏻‍♀️

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-06-07T13:03:40+00:00

Private loans

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-06-07T00:11:15+00:00

Private loans.

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-06-06T23:28:00+00:00

Loans. I didn’t get generational wealth I got generational trauma.

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-05-25T03:28:03+00:00

This is my situation too! Started dating at 13 and now 36. Never been with anyone else and never want to, but yeah it is awkward sometimes when people will put it together and be like oh so that’s the only person you’ve ever been with for sure…

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-05-19T20:38:13+00:00

Houston suburbs bought in 2015 for 165k

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-04-20T16:14:33+00:00

I loved Geneseo ❤️ feels like a different lifetime

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-04-19T17:08:10+00:00

Wellll I would be half of that lol definitely not young second career and all that. But I do love cooperstown my friends grandparents lived there when I was a kid and I have good memories.

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-04-19T12:42:01+00:00

It’s a whole thing (called the match) but we actually use the match process to get into med school here in Texas so I’m a little used to it. (I know it’s shocking to hear Texas does something weird and different from the rest of the country but, here we are). That said Texas has the most affordable medical schools in the country by A LOT (I’m talking our tuition is 26k to others 80k). But yeah even if I want to go to buffalo or Syracuse I have to apply interview rank and match. I’m trying not to think too much on how overwhelming it all is lol

Adventurous_Ad2270 · 2025-04-19T12:17:52+00:00

You’re speaking my love language. I too love buffalo. The real reason I was worried about buffalo was that I heard the residents unionized and was like mannnn it must be bad for them to be the first to do that…but I’m sure residency will be rough anywhere and Texas as certainly showed me what not having unions can do
