Is this a good thing?................................ - Page 3

I'm in what you would consider 'in that other area'. It's been going downhill for quite some time. Only recently, like maybe in the past ten years, have I seen some improvements to the neighborhood and surrounding area. But for the majority of it, I would say people look at this area as not a good place to live. Hopefully things will be looking up. @deepwaterdotter

Medical students are past getting a BA and not known for loud parties or drinking. Show up at med school with a hangover and you are in deep you know what.

I was just about to say the same thing. Med school is very tough, and the work involved is extremely time-consuming. Anyone who enters med school with a party mentality finds out pretty quickly that it's serious business. Med schools are not party schools, and most med students are not at all like freshman undergrads. (Those who are don't last because med schools don't tolerate that.) Med students generally are very good tenants because their days are full and they know they need to stay focused.

They are also, due to their hours/shifts, usually very quiet because at any given time they’re on a graveyard shift and need to sleep while others are working.

I once looked at an apt complex that was very close (5-10 min by bus) to a major university medical school campus. When I inquired about whether it was noisy at night, the leasing agent said that most of the tenants were doctors, nurses or technicians, all of whom worked all shifts, and there was a very strict rule about any noise because of all the graveyard and 24-hr shifts.

Medical students who par-tay are called dropouts.

Life without Mexican food is no life at all

Exactly.

My MIL rented rooms to med students for years, and she always said they were the most responsible young people she ever met. And this was a woman with extremely high standards who had pretty much no tolerance for noise of any kind at any hour.

To answer the OP: Yes, I think what you've described IS a good thing!
