One of the best things about Omaha is it's an easy city to live in. When you're in medical school with lots of other problems to deal with, you want daily living to be as easy as possible. Something's happening here. It's a good place to raise a family. People in Omaha are friendly.
Schools are excellent.
Medical students especially appreciate Omaha's relatively low cost of living - as much as 12 percent below the national average for a wide range of goods and services. Also important to the medical student's budget is the availability of good, affordable housing on campus, within walking distance or in quiet residential areas throughout the city. Once the city's warehouse district and the site of a large open-air market, its brick streets are noe lines with quaint shops and distinctive restaurants.
