I am very excited that I have just been accepted to SJSU and Samuel Merritt-- but now I am struggling to decide which school to choose! Does anyone have any opinions about which school is a better choice?
Samuel Merritt is a 7 minute walk from my house, and SJSU is a horrible 2.5-3 hour round trip commute in rush hour traffic. I have 2 kids and a husband/house so relocating really doesn't work. If it was just me, I'd probably suck it up and do the commute, but I'm afraid of the toll the long commute hours would take on my husband and kids. On the other hand, SMU is 3x the price of SJSU! Anyone have any light to shed? Better job outcomes with SJSU? Better prep for future OT research from SMU? Help!!
