winterallsummer Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 For those of us coming from out of state, what is the cost of living around PCOM? What is the best option - roommate, rent a room in a house, etc? Are the listing on craigslist good or is there a better place to look at apartments and rooms?

aspiringpa24 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I am a second year at PCOM right now and I am staying at summit park in roxborough Pa. It takes me about 15 minutes to get to school. Its nice because it is outside the city craziness and more suburb. I am staying with two other people in my class and we all pay 500-600 a month with utilities included. All utilities are a flat rate fee and there is club house with a place to eat dinner and drinks and a swimming pool. There is also a shuttle to manayunk. PCOM has a roommate service when you get your incoming student packet. Good luck. Most people stayed around school but the living is not that great over there and its much more expensive, the three of us are very happy living where we are and we did not have to move when clinical rotations started so.

winterallsummer Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 I see. Is it practical to take the bus to school? I have a car but was hoping I could switch to using some public transportation once I move there... Also what did you do to prepare for school there? Any pointers? Finally... how soon did you go up there? I graduate May 14 and I believe they start June 1st?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanillalala Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hey, I am also going up there from out of town. One of my friend that just graduated from PCOM told me it is neccessary to have a car bc the rotation sites are far! And I plan on either drive to PA or have my car delivered for 550.
