hondros or Chamberlain ??

Hi jaybri24...I am in the same boat as you here in Columbus. I have applied to both schools, passed the HESI and completed the FASFA. I did hear a lot of negative things about Hondros but it does seem like it was when it first open and they were working out the kinks. I did like the campus and staff that I have dealt with..Seemed very down to earth..Chamberlain campus was really impressive and I know that graduates of Chamberlain are well respected in the city and by potential employers. I have two good friends who went to Chamberlain and they have great things to say about it but they didn't have a life for 2 years. Although, I am sure that is to be expected from Hondros as well. For me, it will come down to financial aid. Chamberlain seems like it may be a lot more and it may be the deal breaker for me. I have another meeting at Hondros this Thursday and should hear if I got into Chamberlain sometime after November 8.

Sorry, just saw this....I took the HESI through Chamberlain, but its the exact one Hondros would give you...It was no joke..I did well, but I cant stress enough to study math for it. Particularly ration/proportions, multiplying and dividing fractions..Math has never been my strong suit, but spending a little time studying the basics helped me alot...I ended up scoring a 89% overall. I never took Biology or Chemistry in High School so I basically BS's my way through that section. I did get in to both schools but ended up choosing Hondros. Chamberlain is very well respected but I really liked Hondros's "ladder approach". Plus, the cost was significantly less. My student loans/grants covered the majority of it. I start in January and I really feel like I made the right choice. I felt like I fit in at Hondros and Chamberlain seemed a bit stuffy to me. Good luck to you and let me know if you are starting Hondros...we may be classmates!
