Hey everyone! I have recently gotten accepted into two different programs (USciences in Philadelphia and University of Lynchburg in Virginia) and was wondering if you guys could help point me in the right direction!

The cost of each program is as follows:
Philadelphia: $140,000 with scholarships
Virginia: $112,000 and I am still waiting on my scholarships

The cost of living for each area:
Philadelphia: $~1,300/month
Virginia: $~950/month

Both of the programs are very well accredited and both have professors that are specialists in the area that I am looking to go into.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Looks to me like the Virginia University is an easy decision if you feel the schools are on an equal playing field academically?

Virginia, you'll make the same out of school either way. Until residencies are required school ranking and such won't matter in the PT world. Unless there is a huge reason you want to attend one program over another.

Thank you! I like the structure of the curriculum in Virginia better, but I feel that there may be more clinical opportunities/networking in Philadelphia.
