Transfer Student to UPenn, NYU?

You'd definetely get into NYU, they have a very good nursing program, but you need all of the pre-reqs first so make sure you look and have all of their pre-reqs. One of the main reasons people decide against NYU is of course the tuition. It's about 41K a year and the nursing phase of the program is two years, also it's a very populated school that accepts over 200 nursing students a year so nursing lectures and non-clinical courses (like pharmacology) can sometimes have over 100 students in them. Also some people are thrown off by their clinical schedule, as from what I last heard you only have clinicals every other week and the alternate weeks are in the simulation labs.

The 41K does not include living on campus so you have to factor that in as well. It's a lot less of a hassle and probably even cheaper than trying to find a place in NYC that's not too far from campus and affordable.

thank you for the reply! that is all really helpful. just out of curiosity, would you say that nyu has a better nursing program than villanova? villanova is pretty expensive too (52k) but they give pretty good financial aid, which i havent heard about nyu.
