I know, right?
Quite frankly, I'd like to see another school in Nova Scotia open up a medical school. Dalhousie politics is becoming a drain on the province. My uncle studied engineering at St.F.X. yet my friends I grew up with could only do up to 2nd year and then be forced to move to Halifax to finish their degrees at Dal. X also has (debatably) the best nursing school in the whole region, to the point where lots of prospective nursing students will move from Ontario or out west to study there. It really helps St. Martha's hospital recruiting new staff and having students present for their practicum but at this point I'd rather St.F.X. have an on-campus hospital next to the old 104 beltway for better access to the public and better facilities for the nursing program and perhaps a med school to boot.
X has a surprisingly large endowment for a smaller university and lots of politically and financially connected people are alumni, yet I could see Dalhousie blocking
anything threatening their control.
