I see I got a sticky on this post. That's very cool. I posted this before I started Unibe a couple of years ago. A lot has happened since. I just finished basic sciences and I'm preparing to take my USMLE Step 1. I am finishing Dr. Najeebs program which is very good and after I will do Kaplan. See, you can do both!

I think Unibe has a lot of potentials. I heard a rumor that the owners (the Azures?) are getting involved personally and cleaning house. This is something good. Unibe has many great professors but It also has horrible ones. However, it always comes down to the student and how much effort they will put into anything. There's only so much a prof. can teach you. The rest, you learn on your own anyways. What happens is people are dragged out to sea by the current. This means they have a bad prof. who doesn't teach well and never goes to class, so people decide not to study either. This is bad.

I will say though, the school does listen and care about their students. In the event you have a prof that shows no interest in teaching, it's usually not very difficult to get that person fired.

If you want to go to a top notch foreing medical school, then consider the top 5. In the end though, it's all the same. We all have to pass our exams just the same.
