BCU or FAMU?

8 Posts

I was accepted into Bethune Cookman's SON a month ago and just got into FAMU'S program today. I can't decide on which one to attend though. I have already gone to Cookman's orientation, I'm so used to the school (it's where my sister graduated from) and she always bragged about how good their program was. I accepted Cookman's offer because if I ended up not getting into FAMU I needed backup. FAMU was originally where I wanted to go and the one I prayed so hard for because it is a public school, cheaper and I kind of wanted to be on my own not staying with my parents as I would If I chose Cookman. But I couldn't find available space in housing so I would have to rent there. I heard their are some apartments that financial aid can cover there. If I went to Cookman, I would be living with my parents and be driving to and from Daytona frequently. I just can't choose which one is better because they are both two really good programs. FAMU called today to ask me if I was still interested and I was forced to make the decision on the spot so I said yes, not wanting to say no and miss my opportunity. I had to give it some serious thought. I'm not looking for someone to make the decision for me, just for someone to help me. And it would be awesome if their are some students from each school that can give me their opinion about the nursing program. Thanks
