Need a reliable car that'll make it at least 6 years

Currently in med school and my Audi finally died. Max budget is $17500 and I strongly prefer AWD since travel to MN often to see family and ideally would love to land in a residency back in MN. I've been looking at 2016-2017 CX-5s, 2015 Toyota Rav 4s, and 2016ish CRVs. Are any of these options more reliable than the others? Are there any other reliable AWD vehicles in leaving out?

Medical school loans private vs federal unsubsidized

I'm starting medical school this fall and my tuition will be $72,000 per year. My family has offered to loan me anything that is not covered by federal unsubsidized loans. My question is, would it make sense to take out $200,000 through private loans instead if I can get a much lower interest rate? The thought of a 7.92% interest rate is terrifying to me. I am interested in psychology and ophthalmology, though I know that many students hope for a high paying specialty and end up in primary care due to grades and/or USMLE/COMLEX scores. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Moving to Jonesboro from MN

I'm moving to Jonesboro for medical school in a couple months. I've lived in MN my entire life and was wondering if there's anything I should be aware of? I saw that Arkansas has a few poisonous species along with the Lone Star tick, how do I prevent being bit by these species? Any advice about living in Arkansas is welcome. Thank you!!

Anyone else having trouble entering single day experiences into the updated AACOMAS system? I shadowed a doctor for one day, so I entered that as the first and last day. AACOMAS will not let me enter the same date as the first and last day. I contacted support and they basically told me to screw off, anyone else have this problem?
