I'm having trouble deciding between UHCO SUNY and PCO. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each school? Also, do most people end up practicing where they graduate? I'd appreciate any insight.
I go to PCO, and I would not recommend it. I believe that it was once a very good school, but it is not up to par these days. They tried to expand the school too quickly with the other programs, and the quality really suffered. A lot of the equipment that we use (labs, computers, machines) is outdated and breaks too often. Some professors have been here so long that they are just way out of touch, and their notes are really ambiguous, which leads to a lot of wasted time and searching on your own for the information. And I didn't even get into their ridiculous academic policies. Fail one class and re-do a year? It just screams of a money making scheme. And I say this as someone who has always done fine academically. Also, the average OAT and board scores are nothing to write home about. I really wish that I had looked into other schools, and I regret coming here.
I go to suny and am almost finished. <COME HERE>
