This really helped and gives me more peace and comfort about the situation. I am definitely going to implement what this guy did. It sounds like a great idea. Thanks!

I am pretty sure I know what comments I will get on this, but I need a few opinions anyway. Please keep an open mind. I am a married with 6 kids 44yr old male that just got accepted into nursing school an hour and a half away. There really is no other option for me, and I also work. We do not want to relocate at this time because of our finances and my oldest son is a future Olympic gymnast and we do not want to mess up his training. So, my female 20 something yr. old classmate from pre reqs reached out to me and said she has asked our other female classmates to be roommates but they are not able to and so she reached out to me to see if I am interested. She knows I am married with kids and my situation. I conversed with my wife and we went over alternatives and we both came up with this might be the best situation, even though she is slightly uncomfortable because it is a female. Now, I will only be there 2-3 nights and I will drive home the other days, so its mostly like I am just crashing there. I just want to know has anyone done or know someone that is in or had this situation before and how did it go? Now, please be open-minded and understand my situation and any advice please.

Hi. I am trying to get into Aspen University Texas nursing program. During orientation they said that according to Texas BON, that I would have to move within 50 miles of their location once I start the cohort. I live about 100 miles away. Has anyone heard of this requirement?
