Is NOVA southeastern university college of optometry a good school to go to? Will I be able to get a job as an optometrist after graduating from there, even though its a newer optometry school?

I've been accepted to optometry schools that have been around longer and have a larger alumni network, but I think I liked NOVA more.
 
1. It's not a bad school. Seems solid
2. It's not a newer school. Your ability to get a job relies on more about your competency, flexibility, attitude and the job market demand more so than your alma mater (although I still frown upon un-accredited schools or new schools).
3. Go where you will be the most comfortable.
