I got a small scholarship but compared to Creighton... just about anything is cheap

The only reason I'm tentative is because of the Name and Shame reddit forum earlier this year. But, I know they are remodeling the first two years, so not sure how similar my year would be or if those issues will be corrected

Take the neurotic premeds with a grain of salt. Colorado is an amazing T30 school and will set you up for success—definitely more than Creighton. And believe me, Omaha is not that great haha

That's great to hear. Definitely had me worried, and was the main (only) reason I was hesitant

100k cheaper, better reputation, more resources, closer to support network. Easy choice for Colorado.
