Which program should I choose? Salus vs. Kyco.

The benefits of Kyco are: an expanded scope of practice (laser procedures/medical injections) and they pay for all your textbooks/equipment.
The cons are since they are fairly new so their board pass rates are a bit low.

With Salus they give you a lot of clinical experience early on, and it is an older established school. I do not really see any cons.

Alot of people tend to prefer Salus, and I just wanted to know if there is any thing I am missing in my evaluations?

Any opinion is helpful thank you.

1. Cost
2. School fully accredited? (Not sure if KYCO is)
3. NBEO board pass rates
4. Urban vs rural living

I would also consider class size! I believe KYCO's class size is about 65, while PCO's is typically around 150.
