Hi everyone!

I'm Molly - new to the forum and will be attending the nursing program at Bridgeport Hospital this fall! I'll be relocating from Eastern CT and I am very excited to move and start the program. Is anyone else looking for housing? Looking forward to meeting everyone in a few months!!! :)

Congrats on your acceptance, I will also be attending BHSN in the Fall but as a commuter. Have yoy received any financial aid or orientation paperwork?

Congrats to you too! I have yet to receive any orientation or financial aid paperwork - what is your status? Also, when you did your FAFSA, did you indicate Housatonic CC (or whichever CC you plan to take the co-reqs at) or just BHSN? It didn't occur to me to also include the community college, but I'm thinking I should go back in and change it...

Happy Monday, hope it goes by quick for you!

Hello Molly,

Thank you! I did receive my awards letter and unfortunately receive less than I was expecting, on one of the other threads someone mentioned the max aide BHSN gives is about 5,500, which is about what I got. Unfortunately they raised tuition to now 17,000+ instead of 15,000+ so I am unsure if I will be going to BHSON or NCC my back up plan. I did indicate Housatonic and NCC on my fafsa but only because I was looking to take a few classes there in the summer and NCC was my fall back plan. I called BHSN today to discuss the possibility of additional aid and I was told there was none besides the federal aid provided, which is a bummer.

Happy Hump day.

Sorry to hear that you received less than you were hoping for. :( I received my award info for HCC, but not from Bridgeport yet. When do you think you'll make your decision?
