Re: University of Maryland Spring 2010
I have also applied to UMD's SON program for Spring 2010 and haven't heard anything. I was accepted to Towson and had to give my letter of intent this week. I am still debating on UMD (that is if I am accepted). I know I will like the environment at Towson (I went to a small college), but I know UMD has a stronger and perhaps more challenging program. However, I've worked in downtown Baltimore for the past 4 years (3 years at Hopkins, 1 year on Pratt street) and I've hated it. The crime, traffic, etc!
So, basically, I'm torn between a strong, well-ranked program at UMD or a nicer daily environment commuting to Towson. My other concern is clinical sites. I know students at both programs get sent all over the area, but will I get better clinical sites through UMD or Towson or are they the same. I have a feeling, after 2 years (at either program) I will still come out as a great nurse, but I just want to make the right choice. Any input??
