Hey everyone starting at West Coast come june hopefully if my aid comes through and by aid i mean loans. Can anyone tell me more about this place.

Welcome to Allnurses.com!

West Coast University is relatively new to the Dallas area, having been here only two years or less. In addition, tuition is staggeringly expensive. I have not attended the school so I have no first hand information for you.

From other posters commenting on other WCU threads, the amount of debt you will leave school with is crushing. Yes, you may have to wait a year or two to get into a different school, but you will NOT have the debt load either. That debt load will impact where you live, what you drive, and what you can do outside of work for a decade or more.

Please do the math and really think through your decision.

If you are ready to hit the ground running hard, with a very accelerated, fast pace program this is the place for you! The cost is very expensive but with loans and either payment plans or private loans its manageable. If you have looked at other options and this is the best, I suggest you to go for it! What courses will you be starting in? That depends how your schedule will be? Have you taken pathophysiology? The staff, instructors, and students are all very good and they care about you succeeding in your goal! The program goes by fast so if you have kids or especially job they suggest part-time and get all the family support and help you can your going to need it! The program is good and you will learn a lot here but courses are intense. Hope that helps.
