Pros/Cons of Umass Worcester GEP Program

[DizzyD25]

I've decided on the Adult/Gero Primary Care track and would really appreciate some input regarding the program, campus, etc at Umass Worcester. I was also accepted at MGH, which was originally my first choice, but am now second guessing my decision. I'm really torn and can't seem to find any information from current and/or previous students regarding Umass. Both programs seem relatively similar... Any insight would be incredibly helpful, THANKS!

Hi everyone. Not sure if people are still looking at this forum but I just recently got accepted into the Adult Acute Care program at Umass. I was set on going to MGH, paid my deposit and was pretty much enrolled but just had my interview with Umass for the hell of it and ended up loving everything about Umass EXCEPT the location. I can't pass up the amount of money I will save by going to Umass instead of MGH, but the drive from the boston area which is where I live now is going to kill me. Just wondering if anyone will be starting at Umass in the fall and is coming from the Boston area? Or if anyone has done this before? Also, does anyone have insight on if I am making the right choice in going to Umass over MGH? I heard the programs are pretty comparable, but am nervous that giving up the "MGH" name will hurt me later on when trying to get a job in Boston. Thoughts?
