hondros or Chamberlain ??

Hi jaybri24...I am in the same boat as you here in Columbus. I have applied to both schools, passed the HESI and completed the FASFA. I did hear a lot of negative things about Hondros but it does seem like it was when it first open and they were working out the kinks. I did like the campus and staff that I have dealt with..Seemed very down to earth..Chamberlain campus was really impressive and I know that graduates of Chamberlain are well respected in the city and by potential employers. I have two good friends who went to Chamberlain and they have great things to say about it but they didn't have a life for 2 years. Although, I am sure that is to be expected from Hondros as well. For me, it will come down to financial aid. Chamberlain seems like it may be a lot more and it may be the deal breaker for me. I have another meeting at Hondros this Thursday and should hear if I got into Chamberlain sometime after November 8.

yes, i am undecided also because i did read alot of neg. thins about hondros but the dates are like 2 years ago and yes ive also hear chamberlain students are respected and that overall it is a good scholl but i did also hear it is very pricey!! was the entrace exam at hondros dificult?? and well good luck and let me know what outcome you receive from each school i would really appreciate it

Sorry, just saw this....I took the HESI through Chamberlain, but its the exact one Hondros would give you...It was no joke..I did well, but I cant stress enough to study math for it. Particularly ration/proportions, multiplying and dividing fractions..Math has never been my strong suit, but spending a little time studying the basics helped me alot...I ended up scoring a 89% overall. I never took Biology or Chemistry in High School so I basically BS's my way through that section. I did get in to both schools but ended up choosing Hondros. Chamberlain is very well respected but I really liked Hondros's "ladder approach". Plus, the cost was significantly less. My student loans/grants covered the majority of it. I start in January and I really feel like I made the right choice. I felt like I fit in at Hondros and Chamberlain seemed a bit stuffy to me. Good luck to you and let me know if you are starting Hondros...we may be classmates!
