Hi guys! wondering if anyone else had received an acceptance from University of Dayton, i don't see a lot of posts about them here.

I got my acceptance form them a few days ago and am weighing my options, i absolutely loved the interview and the faculty but they are not as well known. I also have an acceptance from Rosalind Franklin as well, which is slightly better known and ranked higher, although this would need me to move out of state. Im struggling with the decision :/ they are both around the same price but living expenses would be a lot high at Rosalind Franklin in north Chicago

any input? or anyone else attending either of those programs?

Hey! Congrats on your acceptances! If I were you, I'd choose whatever was cheaper for you. I'm working as a tech right now and a lot of the PTs I work with have told me the same advice. Most of the time, jobs don't care where you graduated from as long as you pass your boards. Also, it sounds like you already really enjoy the program in Dayton.

Consider living on the naval base right next door to Rosalind Franklin- its dirt cheap. Unless you are living at home I can't imagine that rent anywhere would be significantly more expensive than what the base costs. Also consider where you plant to work post-grad. Which school has better connections, clinical, etc...?
