Hello
I was thinking of going West Coast University in Ontario to get my BSN. I finished all my prereqs at a community college. Anyone here go there and would like to share their experience before I sign up? :] it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

DO NOT GO.
Sorry I'm being blunt but the debt you will incur by going there- even after completing your prerequisites- is absolutely not worth it.
There's also a lot that they don't tell you before you start. For example, you will eventually have to start making monthly payments as high as 1200/month. My co worker's son goes there and him and his wife split the monthly cost.
You will be 90,000+ in debt when you graduate and that's if you're successful in every semester.
Go read the yelp reviews of students who have been there. Let's just say they want a refund.
You're better off starting a business with the loan you're about to take than invest it at west coast.
Please reconsider. Apply to the community colleges around you, not just one but several.
