I think it can be sent to the address at the bottom of the letter with maybe an attention to BSNExpress. As for the size of the photo that is a good question. I am assuming it is for ID badges???? so it might seem that passport size is reasonable. May be worth asking? Good questions. Did you decide if you are taking pathophsyiology through Villanova. I was told it is $490/credit hour but still need to confirm through the Bursar's Office.

Yeah the letter didnt say where it should be mailed so I emailed Ms. Lieb Monday about those questions but havent heard back yet. No, I am taking patho at my community college, the entire class is $399, so its much cheaper than Villanova but its not online.

[hopeful14]

ok good. Yes better price, and actually I would prefer it in class rather than online. Unfortunately, all the courses here are part of a nursing program that one must be in inorder to take it. oh well. I am requesting a syllabus from Villanova as well as Columbus State Community College in Ohio to compare. Then I will decide. Both are expensive.

Hi everyone, I was also recently accepted into the May 2012 program so congrats - I am super excited and VU was my first choice!! And to answer some of your questions, the picture sent with your seat deposit can be any size, it is just for them to keep in our files. Also, Villanova's online Patho course this semester is $1,485 for me - I live in PA so I don't know if that makes a difference, but it's still more expensive than those at a community college some of you have found. If anyone lives within an hour or so of VU, I would love to meet up or talk with you, even over email, before the program starts. :)

@ minelli81

Congrats on your acceptance! VU was my first choice too! I live around Trenton, NJ about 40 minutes from Villanova, what part of PA are you in?

Does anybody know what they're doing for housing yet if you're not commuting?

[ebenav]

I'll be joining everyone in May as well!! So excited to start!

@minelli81

I live in Allentown PA, about an hour away from nova. I would love to meet up or chat with anyone to get to know you before the program begins.

@ aab12

I'm probably going to be looking for an apartment in the area. Maybe Conshohocken? Anyone else thinking about an apartment and looking for possible roommates?

@ebenav

My family lives in Bethlehem, PA right near Allentown.. I visit there quite often.. next time I am up there we should meet up for some coffee or something!

PHILOSOPHY REQUIREMENT- If anyone still needs to fulfill the philosophy requirement, my Critical Thinking Philosophy Course at Bucks County Community College in Newtown, PA has spaces available. The fees are very reasonable and it is taught by a terrific professor Mehul Shah. I believe the deadline to register for this course is Jan 12.

I have a few friends in the area that I may be able to live with but I'm not 100% sure yet. If not, I'll need to figure out some sort of living situation since I live a little over an hour away.

Hi Everyone!

I'm Danielle and I'm in the 2012 BSN Express Cohort.

Congratulations to all of us - we did it! I'm in California so this is a big move for me. Has anyone started a facebook group for us yet? I'd be happy to do so if there isn't one already. It might be a great place for us to get to know each other and keep in touch regarding housing, relocating, planning etc.

I'm so excited to meet everyone and get started on this journey!

[DanaMarieB]

Wow! California is quite the move! Have you been to Villanova at all to look at the area? I am not moving there since I live 40 min. away, but I think some of the other girls are interested in living there. I don't think a facebook group has been started yet, so that would be great to do!
