   dawgmama replied to NinjaRN's topic in Wisconsin

   I'm not aware of the offer to pay if you stay on at Bellin. My daughter was/is planning on coming home after graduation to save some cash on rent, and start paying off her considerable loans. Bellin is not in-expensive, but they get the BSN students ...

    Thanks Farmer Jane. We had heard that Alverno was unique. Now she is not sure that she will transfer. She would still like to save some $, (who wouldn't?), but she doesn't want to lose ground on the studies she has already done. Funny, but schools ar...

    dawgmama replied to dawgmama's topic in Wisconsin

    Thanks Bree, we hadn't even thought of WCTC, but we will certainly look into it. Perhaps more of her gen ed credits from UWGB would transfer, and she would not lose much ground timewise from her transfer.
