Northwestern University

The MD program at Feinberg School of Medicine is student based, with incredibly devoted faculty and staff. However, the in-class time commitment is very heavy and attendance is taken in many first and second year classes which is a drawback. I believe that it is worth it though as the resources and hospitals I have access to for my 3rd and 4th year outweigh the lack of independence in the first 2 years.

Faculty accessibility and availability of one of the strongest aspects of this medical school. The faculty genuinely want you to succeed, and they are there to help you in any way they can. It is a very expensive medical school; there is no way around that. They do try to provide as much financial aid as they can. There is no subsidized student housing, and Chicago can be very expensive if you don't "shop around" for an apartment first.

The Feinberg school of medicine has recently rolled out a new curriculum. While it is academically challenging an includes early clinical experience it does not leave much time to pursue individual interests.

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is definitely demanding in terms of academics but is rewarding in the number of opportunities that open up to you.

Feinberg is a great medical school. They are constantly trying to improve the curriculum to help students receive the best training possible.
