Greetings! I am new to this website and have in the past found many helpful threads. I wanted to ask any nurses or students of nursing a question concerning the cost of college.
I am a high school senior who plans to study for a BSN and then eventually get a DNP, but I'm not sure how money is acceptable to spend to get there.
I have been accepted to Palm Beach Atlantic University (my top choice school), and I have also been accepted to their Freshman Direct Admission program, which means that as long as I have satisfactory grades, I am automatically guaranteed a seat (out of 60) in the nursing college.
The school, after scholarships I have been offered, what my parents can provide, and my savings, will cost me $11K to $13K a year (this is the budget they provided which includes books, transportation, food, housing, and extra spending money).
I plan to work either on campus or near the campus part-time to at least cover my living costs (hopefully more).
Do you consider a small, private college worth the money for a BSN? I loved the campus and program but don't want to overspend for my education. Is being accepted to a freshman guaranteed seat program worth the money of a private school? Thanks!
