Broward Collge Vs. Nova University

Published

I recently submitted my application at BC for August 2010. I kept going back and forth between Nova and BC, but figured I would take my chances with BC, mainly because of the tuition price. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the schedules for either of these schools, as I have a 2 year old that would need childcare while I am in class/clinical. I am wondering if the schedules are similar.

Thanks in advance!

The good thing with Bc is they have a daycare and if u recieve pell grant they will pay up to 75% of daycare cost. I have a 5 and 3 yr old that go to central and I pay $57.50 a week for both kids. Nova has a daycare but there is NO HELP!!! I called its like $3500 or something like that for each semester. BC daycare hrs are 7am-6pm, it would conflict with clinicals, but all daycares really have the same hrs anyway! Well good luck, hope that helped.

Thanks, yeah Nova is ridiculous with the price. What is your schedule like at BC central? I heard it was 2 morning classes per week and one day 12 hour clinical, is that correct?

Well I start this August, but I looked at the class, lecture is Mondays and Fridays 9-12,pharm either Thrus 4-6 or Fridays 5-7. And clinicals my girlfriend is in the program at central and she says in each 8 week semester u have 4 clinicals, u can do them for 2 weeks twice a week or 4 weeks once a week.

Hello there I just finished at Nova and yes if you don't have an EFC of 0 in your fafsa you will end up with a lot of loans!!! Thankfully i had a lot of grants because i didn't make that much money, and a scholarship and still like that I ended up with $25,000 in debt; The program is excellent but it is full time! Monday-Friday and they don't help with child-care; hope this helps and don't worry I think becoming a BSN is only a few xtra year after you get your associates. Good Luck!!
