It seems as though Shadyside S.O.N has really "revamped" their tuition forgiveness program. Any other potential applicants concerned about this? If so, what alternatives are you considering?
The South campus is in West Mifflin. I too live in Pittsburgh (South Hills). I don't know how true this is but rumor has it that the South campus has an overall better passing rate of students, both for the course and for passing state boards. I can tell you with 100% knowledge that the graduating class of 2009 (May), which is the class I just graduated from, has a 100% pass rate for boards. There are good and bad teachers everywhere but I have to say that personally I only had a few that were not so hot as far as teaching went but I had some that were excellent and the skills lab teachers are incredible and so extremely helpful. I used them a lot for practicing skills and tutoring. As far as clinicals go from the South campus...I did my clinicals at Jefferson, St. Clair, Mercy and McKeesport. I don't know if that is convenient for you or not. I'm not sure where clinical are held for those who attend the Allegheny campus...I think AGH but I'm not sure about any others.
