Yay for being from San Diego! I'm looking forward to getting back, especially thanks to that residency loophole they implemented in '02. I've been in KS 3 years and have a car in KS and a license in KS but went to HS in CA and have bank accounts in CA, so I don't think I actually qualify to be a legal resident ANYWHERE anymore. Going back to CA would let me start school as a resident earlier since otherwise I'd need to work full time for a year and whatnot to become a resident.
I considered the accelerated BSN from Long Beach but I heard it's just starting up this fall and I don't know if I want to participate in such a new program. I'll definitely keep in mind that SDSU has a loophole for nusing -- maybe Long Beach does too.

I'd rather not go to SDSU simply because while I want to be closer to my family, I'm not sure I want to be THAT close.

My fiance is being incredibly open (so far) to the idea of moving halfway across the country, but I'm not sure he wants to be in the same town as my dad.
