Help me decide! I know this has been asked in the past but that was before loan changes and "drama" at both schools.
KCUCOM - Joplin
Pros:
- Closer to home
- P/F curriculum (quartile ranking)
- Established and reputable
-Want to match back to Chicago which seems more possible from here
Cons:
- Board pass rates have fallen in the past couple years (but are on the rise)
- Students have been saying admin is unsupportive as of late
ACOM
Pros:
- Better recent board pass rates than KCU
- Cheaper than KCU since classes have been moved up and will seemingly be grandfathered into old loan system
- Warmer weather
Cons:
- Students have mentioned bad remediation policies that are affecting many students (admin says policy is being reworked)
- I would have to take Orgo 2 before matriculation
- Further from home than Joplin
