Associates: Queens versus Kings

[loveflowers]

Hi! I am planning on getting my ASN and my choices are Kingsborough or Queensborough community college. Have any of you gone this route or know any edges one program has over the other? TIA!

They both offer the same - associates in nursing.

I have a friend who went to queensborough, and graduated from their nursing program, and said it was "easy" to get in.

However, I can only speak for kingsborough. I just got accepted to their program for fall 2014 with a 3.98 prereq gpa, and 128 NLN score. You have a really high chance of getting in if you score 130 or above (or at least 50% in all 3 sections) of the NLN. Most people above 120 usually get in, but I've seen some that don't because they did poorly in certain sections of the NLN. Other than that, kingsborough has its very own beach and queensborough doesn't. ;) A big downside is that this campus is only accessible by bus or driving, so commute can be very arduous and annoying most days.. and also the buses are crowded most of the time.
