Hello all,

Need help deciding on which school enroll. Im from NY, distance from home isn't a main concern for me...

Rutgers - good reputation, good clinical, offers instate after first year, poor surrounding area

UNLV - Would love to experience the west coast and leave my comfort zone, good clinic, seems to have new and up to date facilities

NSU - private (therefore more $$), although I prefer the class size of 125 vs the other 2 schools with 80, who wouldn't love to live in Fl, really enjoyed my in-person interview and the vibes from the school

Keeping in mind the affects of COVID where Rutgers may have all lectures held online whereas NSU/UNLV has them in person due to the more strict regulations in the northeast USA

Thanks for any helpful input!

Costs?

Rutgers, because it's the cheapest.

poor surrounding area

Not an issue. You're next door to Jersey City, Harrison, NYC, Jersey suburbs like Montclair and Kearny and Harrison.


Again. Rutgers, because it's the cheapest.

Costs?

260 rutgers, 270 UNLV, 330 NSU.

Both Jersey and Nevada offer in-state after the first year.

I also applied to Military HPSP and waiting to hear if I got into that program or not.

Would you still choose Rutgers if I get into the HPSP where cost will no longer be an issue?

Sounds like you want to go to UNLV, go for it

They just got a new Dean, so I wonder if thats affected anything drastically

Honestly that’s a minor detail

I'd say cheapest (Rutgers). Like you said, it has a good rep with good clinical education. But 10K+ more to attend UNLV isn't horrible if you do want to experience the west coast.

I haven't heard the best things about NSU

in what aspect of NSU isn't the best? Can DM that response if you feel more comfortable
