  1. It's fall application season! Those of you that attend PCOM or Temple University, can you please help someone that's in the shoes you once were in??? I'm quite stressed out with applications. Can you please tell me your satisfaction with faculty, the program, the overall school, and the area? I'm applying to doctoral programs and would like to hear first hand stories. I'm also applying to Chestnut Hill and UPenn. Even if you have just one line to say, I'd greatly appreciate it.... anything else u wanna through in is gold! =) thanks!!! p.s. I was planning on applying to 6 schools, but an advisor said to make it 10-12! jesus, that's a lot and a lot of money, so i'm trying to make sure my list is a good one. And, perhaps people on the west coast don't know about philadelphia college of osteopathic medicine, but is it well known out there? i could only find reviews pertaining to the D.O. degree. Your help is appreciated!
  2. Hey you PCOM and Temple University peeps! Can you please share your story of being a student there? I'm applying to the clinical doctoral programs and would like to hear first hand stories if students are happy there. Even if you have just one line to say, I'd greatly appreciate it.... anything else u wanna through in is appreciated as well! =) thanks!!!
  3. Hello everyone!!! I'm applying to doctoral programs in the east (Philly, NY, Chicago, Miami). Right now I'm in southern california getting my master's. California's weather is pretty fantastic and many other things as well. But... I dislike how spread out this awesome city is, there is an art scene out here though it isn't as intense compared to say, Nyc. I'm not bashing LA (and i can imagine some will, lol) but I've decided to head east and Philly is my top choice (Chicago 2nd). I've been to New york a few times and love it (my friends are from there, and showed me how new yorkers do it). I love the city and especially love lower east side and brooklyn. however, being a future ph.d student, i don't see myself living there as as student (prefer a working professional life there). ANYWAY, this post is about PHILLY! =) I've done my research for a few years with Philly schools and now I want to know more about living in Philly. I'm applying to PCOM, Temple, Chestnut Hill, and UPenn for clinical psychology. My top choices are Temple and PCOM, so if anybody can spare their 2 cents about where to live, the social scene, typical things to do in the city, handling the weather, the music scene/concerts, and public transportation (I do not want to get a car out there)... anything pleaaaase! I love art, music, food ("i'm a foodie"), and parks. this might be a lame question to some, but i've never lived in cold weather (lived in cold germany for 3 months though) and was wondering if people tend to stay in during winter and not go out as much? i know i'll be getting my doctorate and i dont party or anything but i still need to balance my life w/occasional social activity. Based on my web readings I'd like to live in the downtown area (I dig a walkable city that's busy w/lots to do and lots going on) and Fitler Square, Rittenhouse, and Bella Vista caught my attention thus far (not sure how that public transportation commute would be from that area to Wynnefield). An admissions counselor mentioned Manayunk. I've read around about Philly (data info sites, blogs, newspapers) and I really like what the city offers! When I mention to people that I'm either moving to Chicago or Philly, I get remarks pointing me to Chicago, they say "Chicago is an amazing city!" Can anyone please share how amazing Philadelphia is? =) thanks!
