UPDATE!!! Graduated from HPU in May! I applied to a new grad residency program in CO and was accepted! Oh and I passed boards this week! HPU is what you make of it. It's up to you to put in the hard work. I am very grateful that I went.
Hbowden - first congrats! You have choices and that is always nice. As far where you want to attend, that is purely a personal choice and you'd have to consider many factors, i.e.: support network, costs, what you'd do in your spare time, traveling...

I agree with RunBabyRun and 1fiestymama - take your last two at the CC. I was in such a hurry to get out of the small town I lived in to transfer to the state school, that I could've saved more money and had less student loan debt if I would have st...
