@LOSANGELES- Concord is a really nice small town with a population of about 42,000. Though it is the capital of the state it is a smaller town. There is a mall, though going to Manchester which is the largest town in NH and just 20-30 minutes away is usually the way to go. There are a handful of places to "go out" for the more social atmosphere in town. Concord has your typical chain restaurants and department/discount stores. There is a nice downtown area with shopping and restaurants, but again it is a small town. As for housing, the school does not offer any housing. Most students live in apartments within a 10 minute drive to "campus." Some students live at home and commute from as far as an hour away. There are a few apartment complexes that are very popular with the DPT students but there are also independent apartments and houses for rent. But finding housing is really left up to you, as a student to do on your own. Most students in our program communicated before school began and decided to room together. Socially, many classmates get together during the week and participate in recreational activities including sports.
@WApthopeful- I think that because the NH program starts in the fall and AZ program starts in the summer, there are generally more openings later in the application process. (Just my personal opinion though)
