Yes, at Iowa I would not go in debt or would go in a little bit. But the program is so competitive, I don't know if I will get in the nursing program in the fall. At Creighton the nursing program is direct admission. I would stay at Iowa but if I don't get into the program I will leave because I do not like the school or city that much. I like Creighton a lot but that is a lot of money and I don't know if that would be hard to get out of debt with a nurse's salary. Would it be hard to get out of that much debt with a nurse's salary? I may have to keep looking at other schools if my financial aid package isn't that good at Creighton.

Hi, I'm currently a student at the University of Iowa and in pre-nursing. I am not liking the university that much and the program is very competitive. I am probably going to be transferring fall 2010. The ideas so far I have for where to transfer to are Clarkson College and Creighton University. I am really like Creighton and was wanting to go there as my first choice but turned it down and went to Iowa because I had a good scholarship. Now that I will be transferring, I will most likely go in debt depending on which school I go to. When I applied to Creighton as a high school senior, I was going to go 50-55,000 in student loans debt. Hopefully that will change this year. But advice from more experience people would be helpful. Do you have any advice about college and going into debt? Does anyone have/had that amount of debt and able to repay it successful or were there more struggles? Is that too much debt for getting a BSN? Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

Thank you for the responses. Another question I have about Clarkson is meeting people and friends. Unlike Creighton, Clarkson does not have sports teams or sororities and such, so I am wondering if it is difficult to make friends or do people hang out with surround area colleges like UNO and Creighton? I am kind of wondering about the social life

Hey! I am currently a student at the University of Iowa for a traditional BSN and am considering transferring. I have looked into Creighton, Clarkson, and Nebraska Methodist. I don't know much about the programs. I applied to Creighton to enter there from high school but turned CU down because it was too expensive and gave me too many loans. Clarkson and Methodist are cheaper than Creighton. I am wondering what program is a better choice and will give me the best experience I need? Thanks!
