Hi guys! I applied and got accepted to Oklahoma city university but I'm not sure if I should attend. I live in California and the college's seems so hard to get in, I have a 2.6 (with a repeat) on my science core classes and BARELY got a 3.0 overall for my prereq's. But I also took a math class on Straighterline.com and got a C, which probably lowers my GPA. Anyway, I applied here the week before July 15 which allowed students in for Fall and got accepted. Although I'm not sure if they mean fall of this year or next. Point is.. that I've seen good and bad reviews and I really don't know anymore. I've seen (literally) all the posts listed here on OCU but they are all around 2011. I need current info from current students to see if I should or not go. I don't qualify much for financial aid that I know of, and still haven't gotten the school packet. I have some money saved and plan on taking loans. (Anyone know of any good scholarships for students on a non-need basis??) I want advice because most of the old post speak negatively and the more current ones seem much better. l never went to a university or got the college experiencesince I lived at home while going to a community college. I'd love to attend because it would give me that sense of independence being so far away. Thanks for your time and have a love day!:) P.S. I'm going in for the transfer and traditional bsn since I don't have an ADN. Any people finished that went that route?? (Not much info here on anyone finished with traditional bsn) and if so how much was your total cost including living expenses?

OCU Kramer School of Nursing is $18,000 per semester in tuition and fees. If getting into $100,000 in student loan debt in exchange for a nursing degree is worth it to you, go for it. However, I'd be leery about accruing that type of debt load.
I actually checked and it said it was about 13,900 a semester and the total cost with fees is about 66k
