Medical schools seem like they are a dime a dozen. There are so many, but the ones that stand out are the ones most people can name from the Ivy League schools. The trouble is, most people cannot afford an Ivy League medical degree. If you are trying to find a renowned school from which to achieve a medical degree while not going so far into debt, there are six other really good schools worth your consideration.

AUC School of Medicine

Along with the easy price tag, the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine based in Sint Maarten gives you the perfect environment to learn and play. When you need a break, you are right in the heart of Caribbean tourist territory. When you have to work, you are making a difference in the lives of native Caribbeans who do not have access to high-quality healthcare.

Russian State Medical University

Many Russian universities of medicine are world-renowned too. One of those, the Russian State Medical University, is well over a hundred years old and offers a variety of specialized medical degrees. The cost of attendance is most agreeable if you can speak Russian and don't mind living there for three years.

National University of Singapore

This is the leading medical school in Singapore, and one of the most easily identified medical schools in the whole world.

Paris Descartes University Medical School

Regardless of where you come from, your school fees are very close in cost at this Parisian medical school.
