Hey everyone!

I've been accepted to both NECO and ICO and am having a hard time trying to decide which one to go to. I've heard alot of con's about both schools (neco - cost of living, ico - location of school) but wanted to get some more feedback from current students at each school as well as students who are deciding on whether to go to these schools. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks! 🙂
 
Yea, decisions..decisions. Well I was torn between ICO and PCO. I'm from Maryland and have been to Chicago twice, I too walked into ICO's interview with the notion that ICO's environment was crappy but it was honestly not that bad. I actually thought PCO's neighborhood was worse (looked very depressing). Anywho, I don't know about NECO but I went to Chicago 2 weeks ago and got to explore the tourist side of downtown Chicago and it was BEAUTIFUL. It is only a 10 min drive from the school so it is not a big deal to leave ICO's campus...which I will most likely be doing a lot.
