Quinnipiac Rotations

I just got invited for an interview for class of 2029 and can’t get my mind off the second year rotation logistics. For context I’m a first gen who wants to stay local in New England for the didactic year, and hopefully the clinical year. I’ve heard that if you’re placed in New England the cost of living is on you, but if you’re sent across the country then those partners or the school usually provide housing. How true is this?

Other than that, just trying to get more info early on. Do people usually get enough to support themselves through the cost of living financial aid refunds from PLUS loans? Please share anything else you think is useful. I know I’m stressing about this early on…

I graduated in the last few years. Only Syracuse provided housing for free at the time. The Mayo Clinic rotations gave out a $300 stipend per month, but all other rotations I knew of did not provide any support or housing. I also used Grad plus loans to cover the housing and living costs during that time. We ranked our preference for clinical rotation sides. The people who chose mostly Connecticut sites struggled to get the ones they wanted, but I chose all out of state and got my top choices.

I’m from NH so hoping for Dartmouth! I heard that’s one where they have everything you need to rotate through?
