Which Nursing Program in NYC?

Hey all,

I will be entering my sophomore year of undergrad studies this fall and recently decided that I want to transfer to a college that offers a BSN degree. I live in the NYC area and I am on the fence between going to LIU Brooklyn and CUNY Hunter for nursing. I am leaning towards Hunter for the lower tuition costs, but I think LIU might be a little less stressful with regards to actually being accepted into the program since the GPA requirements do not seem to be as strict (at least a C average in Science courses compared to at least a B average at Hunter).

Would anyone who attended either nursing school like to give me some insight on the level of difficulty of the programs? Do you think a BSN degree is worth the cost of a private education?

Thanks!

    Hi, I am a Hunter College student and originally planned to apply to its nursing program. I am sure you have heard this before Hunter's nursing program is highly, highly competitive! This means hundreds of students apply each year and even having perfect GPA of 4.0 does not guarantee entrance. LIU, on the other hand, as you stated, is easier to get into. However, it is rather hard to stay in, so I have heard. it is expensive and you do pretty much all teaching and learning yourself. If you search LIU nursing/LIU ABSN on here, you will find many threads on this topic.
