LVN program cost?

I am starting at a tech school here in DFW Texas which costs $26,000. It really depends on not only the state where you are located but the city as well. The previous poster states that there was no waiting list for her cc in South Texas however, DFW the waiting lists are long and you have required pre-reqs as well. Not to mention they do not have evening programs. I quit my job of 4 years to go to school because ultimately I know I will more than recoup the money I am paying to go to school. I would love to pay less but I am not going to put off going to school to save money. I have worked with people who did not go to school because they felt it was to expensive. Education is expensive and ulitmately we will all end up with the same license regardless of what school we attend and what we pay.

CC program here in South Texas... approximately 2500-3000 (estimate)... no carry-over waiting list and admission is primarily based on entrance exam score (no pre-reqs, but minor academic requirements - TSI qualified).
Then again, I've noticed that it appears to be significantly easier to get in to a program in Texas than California... based solely on posts on this board...
Currently, I wouldn't pay for private school... especially at better than 5 times the cost of the CC program. However, I WOULD if it was like it is in California.
I completely understand paying a higher tuition for the convenience of not having to wait year after year... makes perfect sense.

Can you pls tell me what scholl is this? THANKS!
