South University FNP Questions

[medic turning rn]

Hi I am thinking about applying to South University, I will be relocating to whichever campus I am accepted to. Anyone currently in the FNP program that can say if they like the campus or on ground program? Most threads have been about the online program and I would like to do the hybrid. I am most interested in the Columbia SC, Savannah GA, and Montgomery AL. Also what kind of overall expense have graduates had? There website says 48 months and 108K which seems like a lot since they require 48 credits I believe at 600 ea? I spoke to someone in admissions and she said it takes 2 years and 3 months. Maybe I missed something. Any advice or words of wisdom would be great! Thanks in advance!

I met some South University students at one of my clinical sites and their curriculum seemed much easier than mine. Also, they did not have to serve as many clinical hours as I did (720-hours total).

If you do the adult program, it is 600 clinical hours. If you are going for the family program, it is 780 hours (180 additional hours for the pediatric rotation).
