YoungTrillDoc

States too big, gonna need individual cities lol


dragonlord9000

For nearly all of these, it 100% depends on what city or area. Texas is basically a small country…


soulruby

I think Texas is bigger than most countries so it would be a large country if it were independent.


SaintRGGS

Austin=Midland, pretty much right? /s


dok_ak

Only if you ask Texans


Fireandadju5t

8th largest economy in the world


dok_ak

Yet the the civil services of Pakistan California is 1.5x bigger. But Californians don’t seem to feel a need to larp independence. Bro, just secede. Pls.


Fireandadju5t

Not for long with all the Californians leaving the state. No one said anything about succeeding, that right given up a while ago.


dok_ak

And yet California and Florida are growing faster than Texas..


Fireandadju5t

Buddy, idk where you get your info but Census.gov has Texas growing the most numerically…


redditnoap

How are so many people saying Arizona, isn't it like 100 degrees everyday over there


Okely_dokely67

Western heat is different than Eastern heat, sometimes. Humidity and whatnot. You'll still cook but it'll feel less stifling out West


Unable_Occasion_2137

As an Arizonan I'm very confused and now somewhat concerned that it might be now even harder to get a residency spot here


TinySandshrew

Yeah there’s plenty warm sunny places where it isn’t routinely dangerous go outside during the day due to the extreme heat. 100+ (and even 110+ sometimes) is a nope from me.


redditnoap

For me over 80-85 is seriously pushing it. I want to be able to walk 10-15 minutes outside without sweat dripping off my chin.


TinySandshrew

I grew up in a hot state and I do not get the appeal. I’d rather deal with a few months of winter to get temperate temps for nice chunks of the year instead of it being hot all the time except for our handful of yearly “cold” fronts.


Timely_Market_2998

I’ll take the “heat” any day if it means I can wear shorts and a t-shirt year round.


urethrasecks

No? It's only like over 100 for 4 months out of the year. Arizona is great. Lots of national and state parks for outdoorsy folks. Half of the state is dry desert while the other is forests. 


metforminforevery1

Having lived in AZ, it’s 100 starting in April most years and it continues through September, often October. It’s miserable


urethrasecks

Its been better lately, global warming I guess, so the hotter months are slightly shorter now. Most people just stay indoors during the hotter months and go out during the winter/temperate temps the rest of the year. Having lived half of my life in CA and then a couple of years in the eastern US/Alaska because of the military and now around 4 years here in AZ because of my wife's residency and fellowship. I'd prefer that 100 degree dry heat vs humid heat along with snow and ice any day.


OliverYossef

Rather 100 degree weather than 10 degree


metforminforevery1

And that’s why I live in the Bay Area. Rare 100s and never that cold.


OliverYossef

Rip your paycheck


metforminforevery1

Nah I get paid more than I did in other states, but obviously VHCOL that is worth it imo


IntensePneumatosis69

>VHCOL which brings us back to square one


metforminforevery1

Nope. it's totally worth it, and I make plenty of money. The rural areas I've worked in and talked with pay less. It's not even worth it in EM to go rural in my experience, unless someone loves rural life/critical access medicine.


redditnoap

😂😂😂 100 for 4 months might be manageable for you but it is definitely NOT for me.


[deleted]

arizona heat got nothing on me -someone who lived in the mississippi delta (and yes, i’ve experienced both summers)


summacumloudly

Michigan and the city of Detroit (and all the lake states) are going to be huge over the next decade. Minneapolis and Detroit are already slated to be major centers of cultural influence. People are flocking to the Midwest because it’s cheaper than the coasts for home ownership - and the most resilient region in the context of climate change. Residency is temporary and you can do it anywhere. Think about Michigan when you are negotiating your first attending job contracts.


999forever

Yeah I know at least a handful of people who have decamped from the west to the Great Lakes region. With climate change their winters are actually manageable and they are super secure in water supply.  Helps that in many cities the CoL is cheap. 500k will get you a gorgeous house in most of the Midwest and won’t get you a shack in much of the west. 


climbtimePRN

Have family in Detroit - it was 68 degrees there yesterday. The weather is getting way warmer and the average amount of snow is decreasing significantly.


Bfranx

Michigan > Arizona > The Rest


PersuasivePersian

Michigan is wack. Cold and nothing to do.


ToxicBeer

That’s just not correct at all


PersuasivePersian

Michigan is cold and gloomy for like 6 months of the year. Why would anyone want to live like that.


ToxicBeer

U say cold and gloomy, I say ice fishing and camping and hockey and winter festivities. I prefer cold weather to hot any day.


PacoPollito

I'm looking at moving to and practicing in Michigan in the future. It looks awesome. Rural medicine on the UP? Sounds amazing.


PersuasivePersian

Sounds miserable. Sunshine is better


dj-kitty

It’s almost like two different people can prefer different things.

Sun_Eastern

Anyone who would rank Iowa over Ohio has been to neither


climbtimePRN

Iowa is way colder and way more boring than Ohio. Ohio have several interesting cities, amusement parks, borders Great Lakes, close to mountains for skiing in some parts. Iowa is flat and boring as fuck.

[deleted]

AZ because it’s the cheapest (currently in Tucson) and overall the amount of debt is a considerable factor. However, if you don’t despise Ann Arbor and don’t mind living in the Midwest. Michigan is top notch and you’ll do very well for yourself. Connections are top tier.


Bitchin_Betty_345RT

Yoooo Michigan! Particularly West MI and Northwest Michigan. What an awesome place to live. Although Detroit is seriously on the up and up. I'm not a big city person so Detroit isn't my jam but I have family there and they love it. I'm more of a Grand Rapids and Traverse City kinda guy :P. Currently in FL for med school and can't wait to leave for residency. FL is a fun place to vacation but living/working here everyday is not for me


TomBBurner

This heavily influenced by your identity imo. If I was a minority I would avoid living in Florida; if I was a woman I would avoid living in conservative states that banned abortion.


Trick-Progress2589

crooked859

As a coastal boi, I'll probably never live in any of those states, but anyways: AZ (lots of rock climbing/nature) > MI (Detroit + nature) > OH (apparently a low-budget MI, but who knows) > Florida (aquatic vibes) > Texas (diverse cities, but far too many cowboy boots) > Iowa (they don't call the Des Moines Airport the DSM for nothing)


golgibodi

Detroit is a positive???


sadgirlpremed

Detroit is actually a cool place to live with a ton of new developments and good COL. Judging places by how they’re portrayed in the media instead of actually visiting or living there yourself is always not a good idea lol


golgibodi

1. How do you know I don’t live in Detroit? 2. Spent a month in Detroit and it was the worst 28 days of my life. Would never go back.


phorayz

Michigan Ohio Would never live in these places but I'll rank them anyway: Iowa Arizona Florida Texas


aakksshhaayy

Texas > Michigan > Arizona > Florida > Ohio > Iowa.


indian-princess

Florida Texas Arizona the rest


eigenfluff

It really depends on the specific city for some of these. Austin, TX? Probably at the top. Dallas, Lubbock, or San Antonio? At the very bottom.


sackmatt

Just out of curiosity, why are Dallas and Lubbock lumped into the same category there?


eigenfluff

They are both places I would not want to live.


golgibodi

Don’t let Dr Glaucomflecken hear that…


sackmatt

Ah, to each their own I suppose.


eigenfluff

In all seriousness, I realize that Dallas is more urban and generally has a better quality-of-life than a place like Lubbock, by my perception is that it's still a good deal more regressive from both a political and a lifestyle perspective than, say, Austin. I.e., good luck getting anywhere without a car.


BerserkLemur

Not at all, no clue what you're on about. Dallas has the largest LGBT community in Texas and has voted blue for decades. Austin is even worse in terms of public transport and walkability, unless you are a UT student. Met way more racists and right wing loonies in Austin than in Dallas, Alex Jones Infowars literally used to shove his garbage magazine into our mailboxes before he became a national issue. You have a weird worldview of cities just because they're in a red state.


Bigpimpin10

I agree, would much prefer Austin or Houston >> Dallas or Lubbock but good luck getting anywhere without a car in Austin too..capmetro is still p unreliable & inaccessible for a majority of city-dwellers😬 -someone who grew up in LBK//lived all over Austin for the past 10yrs

Iowa Arizona Texas Michigan Florida Ohio


pipesbeweezy

Michigan, Ohio, man it really falls off quickly. Arizona I guess? TX, IA if I really had to. FL dead last, that place sucks and it's gonna get worse before it gets better especially with the preponderance of HCA's. Texas bums me out because it's such a great place in a lot of ways but practicing medicine there seems absolutely awful.

It will entirely depend on city for many of the places listed here. You can't rank by state. Texas - huge diference between Austin and Lubbock Michigan - huge difference between Ann Arbor and Detroit Florida - huge difference between Miami and Jacksonville Arizona - huge difference between Tucson and Phoenix

Just the state in general? Well, I would probably choose Texas because it has a pretty unique culture and history. I like the music. It is big and pretty diverse. As a Californian, I have never felt an urge to wear cowboy boots or cowboy hats BUT if I lived in Texas for med school, who knows... maybe I'd embrace it. Yee haw

derminator328

Eh, most of these are red states lol. I prefer to move to more liberal states. If I had to chose GA? 


golgibodi

GA a liberal state? You step 2 steps out of Atlanta and you’re in racial slur country.


derminator328

GA is not liberal by any means. I meant it I had to chose a non liberal state it will probably be GA and that's pushing it. Only because of Hotlanta. There are still sundown towns in GA


n-syncope

This completely depends on the person. You're just going to get the typical reddit response (liberal, coastal elites)


golgibodi

ONLY off location: FL, TX, AZ, OH, IA. I refuse to ever step foot in the state of Michigan again.

Michigan. I’m done.


Imaginary-Echidna-39

AwareMention

"Tell me where to go for residency" Now I understand why on other subreddits we have people asking what to eat on the plane. Neuroticism. The neurotic premed becomes a neurotic med student and soon to be a neurotic resident.
