The factors I consider the most important are: cost, prestige, family, and maybe the P/F grading. There isn’t any real “prestige” difference between the 3, although I think many people would say UNECOM > LECOM > Nova. The cost and family categories definitely go to LECOM, and the grading goes to UNECOM. After all that, I think that LECOM is the winner. Cost and family are huge factors, and LECOM is not just slightly cheaper. It’s $100k cheaper before interest that you would accumulate over a decade of training. Very few factors affect you for years after you graduate, and how much you took out in loans is definitely one of them.
