Ross Or Saba

[future guju doc]

I have been accepted to Ross for January 2007 and Saba for September 2006. Right now the only major difference I am seeing between the two is the class size. The one at Saba is around 70 students while Ross has around 250-300 students for January. Is there other differences I should be aware of before making my decision. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Which school would you choose.

The other difference is cost.

Do a search on this forum. This question is being asked over and over..

Hi,
I am not sure how to do a search on this site so any help would be great.

Ross will cost ~210k while you can get the same education at Saba for ~150K. You spend less time at Ross ( four semesters in Dominica and 1 semester in Miami) Saba is a very safe island. Living conditions on Saba are rough (water from a cistern, can't flush bath tissue etc.) Smaller class size at Saba, and less distraction on Saba (because apperently there is nothing to do but study)

I hate the way it was titled. I think student posters on these forums should not be asked to compare Medical schools but be asked questions from the students at the medical schools so they poster can compare on thier own.

:rolleyes:

On the home page, there is link for the advanced search. Congratulation on your acceptance. When did you interview for Ross?

Seems to me that you posted this same question here not too long ago....

(Search is on the right side above the posts on the Saba main page. I agree with Swingingislanddoc's assessment that you need to form an opinion on what is best for you.)

A better question may be "what do you currently like or dislike about Saba" rather than comparing Ross/Saba. Just a thought.

I have been accepted to Ross for January 2007 and Saba for September 2006. .... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Which school would you choose.Dobby thinks you asks the wrong questions. Ross and Saba are two different schools with two different educational models. Dobby thinks you need to ask what education model does you do best in. Dobby also thinks you need to reads the rules of the good reverand Sampson
Dobby says look at #4 - go visit....
