Hello! I recently (pre-covid) graduated from the San Mateo campus, and thought I can share my thoughts! I don't think the education quality is necessarily "lower" than other campuses. Most of my professors were very helpful and wanted us to succeed. I felt supported, although the administration can be very disorganized... but I think that's with every campus. Plus, everyone in my cohort passed the NCLEX the first time! In regards to clinical placements, everyone was able to see different specialties and the hours should be identical from each campus. I was able to precept in the ICU in SF, which was an amazing experience. If you want to work in the Bay Area, I suggest going to the San Mateo campus so you can start networking with nurses and managers. I know some of my classmates were successful in getting jobs through their preceptorship! I had Bowman, and she was actually my favorite professor thus far! A lot of my classmates also enjoyed her class. She was tough, but I definitely learned so much from her.
