I am trying to decide between the two and am torn. I live minutes away from WCU but MSMC supposedly has a great reputation... I do have to take the pre reqs all over again as it's been 5 years. I plan on taking them at the school I end up choosing to go to as I'm not worried about the price. Can anyone give me any insight/advice/experience? It would be much appreciated-- thanks in advance!

Mount St. Mary. WCU has a reputation of being an expensive degree-mill.

MSMC is better known, but WCU is NOT a degree mill. It is extremely challenging. People fail all the time and get mad because they thought they were "buying" their BSN. That is not the case at all. You HAVE to put in the time and effort or it will be just a big waste of money. It is def overpriced, so go to MSMC if that is an option. But I do like it at WCU. Sometimes it is very frustrating but I have heard that from people who go to APU which is where I was considering going. Nursing is just tough in general. Good luck! :)
