    Help! I need feedback on OCU!

    TheCommuter replied to Andi_527's topic in School, College Programs

    OCU Kramer School of Nursing is $18,000 per semester in tuition and fees. If getting into $100,000 in student loan debt in exchange for a nursing degree is worth it to you, go for it. However, I'd be...
