9. what would you do? Private or public!

   Elm773 replied to Elm773's topic in General Students

   Essentially I can afford both. I've managed to pay for everything out of pocket so far so that when I get into a program I can depend more on student loans, which I've been approved for. Both Programs have strong passing NCLEX rates, and both are ful...
