I am having a hard time deciding between ICO, UAB, and NOVA . I have made lists, read, and researched ... the more I research the more confused I get. I was wondering if anyone could help me?

Have you applied, interviewed, visited the schools? Do that and you will be able to formulate your own opinion on the school.
 
where do you want to live? Which has is better price as far as cost of living? do you want to live in a big city or small city? do you want to live close to family or friends? Just some things to look at besides the school, b/c they are all good schools.
 
Yes. I have applied, interviewed, and have been accepted 🙂 . I have also visited the schools.

Thank you for your reply. All these school will be away from my friends and family. I live in Ga and there are no Optometry school here. I don't mind living in a city or a small town .When calculating living expenses did you use what was estimated for the upcoming class ?
 
yes, i looked at the first year expenses, they calculated for us. But do some research on housing around the school yourself. Is there affordable places near school, is there grocery stores, restaurants or department stores near by for ease of convenience. We are going to be in school a lot and some times life would be easy if you have easy access to places. What about activities do like hiking, swimming, what do you do for fun b/c you will need days to relax. Do you like cold or hot weather, for some snow is new to them Which would be cheaper for you or easier to get back home to see your family or for them to see you.
