no idea?

1.Both are community programs , none have their own fellowships, st lukes slightly bigger program than easton, dont think much difference in getting fellowships.
2.Easton pd is not new, now there for almost 3 years,so doesnt matter.
3.Similar neighbourhoods,bethlehem slightly better,but many easton residents live in bethlehem,10 mins drive.
4.Equal,easton gives early prematches .
5.Depends on many other factors,work load definitely less in easton.
6.Almost similar programs no major differences,so join whichever offers you position first.
hope its helpful,tc
