HCC and GCC nursing program questions

Hello,

was wondering if anyone on here has been to either one of these schools in MA. I completed all my prerequisites at HCC and was accepted into both HCC and GCC.

I was was wondering if anyone heard any downsides or upsides of choosing one over the other. The only one I have at the moment is that I have to become a CNA before class starts at HCC which is an extra $1300.

I was also looking for advice for working while in nursing school. I've had people tell me it's impossible to do but not working isn't an option for me (rent, car, etc bills.) I do home health care and the later in the day shift (4-8:30) is what I'm hoping to do the days my schedule allows plus the weekends.

When should I expect to know my schedule? GCC sent me what classes I need to take which seems like a much lighter load than HCC.

Thanks!
