Match Day for medical students is just around the corner on March 16th. If you are a graduating medical student applying for a resident slot at UVA in Charlottesville and you’re going to be a resident for more than 3 years, buying a home might be a good choice. If you’re only going to be in a 2 or 3 year program and then plan to leave Charlottesville, I would not counsel buying at this time, but for you future neurosurgeons, facing a seven year residency, it could be a great option!
