This was 12 years ago so they may not do this anymore, but during orientation they brought in a service and drug tested all the students who hadn't done theirs yet. 

Interesting, but I would suggest to contact the TWU college of nursing admissions office directly just to confirm what the procedures are for drug screening.

Anybody here visit the Houston campus during an open-house? How did you like the building and offered facilities? I wasn't able to attend any of their tours and it seems like they won't be holding another for a while so 

Here's a brief YouTube video that gives a tour of the Houston campus.

Has anyone received an email about creating a myClinicalExchange account and starting the MERLIN application?  According to the acceptance packet we will get a "Welcome to TWU Houston" email, after the acceptance deadline.

I ask because in the packet it said that a CastleBranch account, myClinicalExchange account, and the start of the MERLIN Application must be established by Thursday, May 2, 2024, when you arrive at New Student Orientation.

Also, has anyone ordered their drug screening yet from Castlebranch?    According to the acceptance packet, the drug screen must be purchased no later than April 15, 2024, and must be completed within 7 days of purchase.

Hi everyone, congratulations on acceptance! I'm struggling to find apartments at an affordable rate. Does anyone have any recommendations for apartments near campus that are available?

Any apartments in the medical center are going to be expensive. Honestly, rent in general is very expensive these days.
