Thanks everyone!
If there are any current Grossmont students out there, I'd love to get some insight about Clinicals locations, best places to live and overall life in El Cajon and Grossmont College. i live in Long Beach, CA, so if I end up accepting the offer, I would be moving down there.
Thanks!
Congrats to you as well! And yes, the feeling is pretty awesome. I do not live in the immediate area of campus, so I don't know too much about the living situation near school. I live about 15 miles away, but the commute is quick--mostly freeway. The clinical sites are spread all over the county. If you go to the Grossmont Nursing home page and click on "SD Nursing Consortium" you can get detailed info about the participating medical facilities. Good to hear from a prospective future classmate. By the way, San Diego is an amazing place to live:)
There's no train that goes to Grossmont. There are busses, but unfortunately I don't think San Diego is the easiest city to get around with public transportation. East county is a great place to live, but you have to be careful about certain areas of El Cajon. If you want a short commute to campus I'd look in La Mesa, Santee, San Carlos, or Mt Helix area. Congratulations and good luck.

I just got my acceptance email from Grossmont College Schoool of Nursing for Spring, 2012!!! I can't believe it, it literally brought me to tears that after all my hard work I've been accepted into the first of the six programs I applied for.
Today is the best day of my life.
