Hi.. I am having some trouble deciding between these schools. So far, I have been accepted to PCO and NOVA, and I have an interview at NECO in a few weeks. I liked PCO and NOVA both very much, and each school has their own pros and cons, but I still decide which one I really want yet. If anyone has any input, please post!
Here's what I have:
PCO
pros:
-high board pass rate
-leaders in optometry.. has been established for a while
-nice student centre
-very nice facilities and buildings
-excellent clinical experience
-opportunities for electives
cons:
-kind of ghetto clinic
-hard to get around without a car
-not much to do around the area
NOVA
pros:
-tuition is a little cheaper than PCO or NECO
-multidisciplinary teaching environment
-a lot to do in the city of ft. lauderdale.. can get around without a car
-nice facilities and clinic
-beautiful weather
cons:
-newer school
-farthest away from home
-unsure about the board pass rate yet!
NECO
pros:
-dual O.D/MS degree
-nice city
-strong research-based school
-closest to home
cons:
-expensive to live
-low board pass rate
-older facilities/clinic
