[Comparing Boston Programs]

I will add that not having a car in Boston seems more realistic day-to-day,) but once you start with your externships you'll kick yourself  if you do not have a car...you'll need to find another way to get there- Uber, public transit (could be 2+hrs each way depending), zipcar...which could be way more expensive & time consuming.  My advice: no car year 1, defintely have access to a car year 2.

[CUNY Hunter vs. MGH???? (saving $$ vs. Medical Placements?)]

Choosing between these two great programs, want to work in a medical setting, but would get in state tuition to CUNY Hunter, anyone have insight as to which program I should pick??? 

Do you think the clinical placements in a medical setting opportunities at MGH outweigh the money I would save by attending Hunter if I ultimately want to work in a hospital?

I think it's also important to remember that no placements are guaranteed, so don't go to one program only because you expect a placement at a particular institution.  You should go for the whole educational package.
