Hello everyone,
I know this is kinda greedy of me to make a whole thread for myself but I am seriously desperate for some opinions. Since I have heard responses from all the schools I applied to, the 2009-2010 cycle is complete for me. I have been offered seats to 4 schools and I am seriously debating between 2 of them. I was hoping that you all can help me come to a conclusion. The 2 schools I am debating between are MCPHS Worcester and Western University. Here is my pro arguments for both and if I miss anything please feel free to add.
MCPHS - Worcester
Pros...

MCPHS - Worcester
Pros...
- I have been living in SoCal my whole like and would love to experience living in the east
- Accelerated 3 year program
- Tuition $40,000 for 3 years = $120,000
- Dorms
- Still have 2 outstanding courses and will need to take summer school for those (important b/c I have been attending school for the last 5 years including summer nonstop and was hoping for atleast the summer to relax before continuing further education)
- Lots to worry about (drive over? sell car, plane, then buy used car?)
- Difficult to return and find a job in California if I find the winter hard to bare?
Pros...
- A summer vacation (no outstanding courses)
- Excellent weather
- Convenient since its fairly local
- Easier to find a job?
- No dorms
- Not having experienced the East... probably will never get to
- Tuition $40,000 for 4 years = $160,000
- 4 years?
