Hiya! Received an acceptance yesterday. Are you thinking you'll likely attend? I haven't put a deposit down but am leaning toward yes.

Hey! Great idea for a separate thread. I'm like 85%-90% sure I am going to attend and put down my deposit soon.

Hi! I'll definitely be attending. Hoping to put my deposit down soon!

Hey guys,

I will be coming from out of state and was wondering if anyone knew how the classes are getting carried out. I heard some schools are doing lecture online only because of covid so we are required to fly in before clinical placements. I emailed admissions but have not heard back yet.

Hey there!

Curious if people have heard from other students that are currently enrolled in this program and what they have to say about it. Also did you guys apply to other programs?

I have a friend who is finishing the 2-year/transfer program, and she has had only good things to say about it! She said the professors have been really great, and it seems like her clinicals have been positive.

Has anyone started thinking about housing?

Hi!

I was recently accepted to the ABSN program! I'd be moving from out of state and torn on what to do. I got accepted to a school in Pittsburgh, which is a lot cheaper. Also, I am waiting to hear back from a few other schools. Is anyone from the Boston area and know what the housing is like/where to look?

Congratulations! I recently paid my deposit and will be attending. I live about 30 minutes away from Boston so I’ll be commuting. From what I know about housing in the city is that it can be little pricey but very doable with roommates. I have a friend currently living in the Fenway area so she is able to walk to clinical and class most days. I also have friends in other schools in the city that live in Somerville as well as the Allston/Brighton area that seem to have a reasonable commute!

Hello! I was in the ABSN cohort that graduated this past December! Congrats on getting in- it truly is a great program and I just passed my NCLEX in 75, thanks to the rigorous curriculum.

I am posting here, because I have a ton of books from the program (and some supplemental materials). I'd like to pass along for a deeply discounted price to anyone that would take them ALL from my place on Comm Ave. Everything in the picture for $150.
