I got accepted from both Washington Adventist (formerly known as Columbia Union) and Trinity Washington University. Not focusing on financial issues, which one would you rather go to and why? I see a lot of pros about Washington Adventist, especially the fact that their nursing program has been around for longer, but the fact that Trinity is in DC is kind of attractive for me (...bad reason). Also, the school seems to be more known to other colleges and it's been around longer (with famous alumni).I have a lot more pros and cons about each school in mind but I would like to hear about other people's opinions. I live in between the schools so distance is also not an issue.
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks a lot!!

I went to Trinity for grad school, however I am not applying there for nursing school. The only reason is because they do not have an accelerated program, in which I am interested in. If you have a degree, then you should try to apply to an accelerated program, however I think overall Trinity is a good school.

My mom works @ Washington Adventist Hospital.. some of the techs on her floor who attend WAU complain about the professors & the nursing program, saying that their prof's dont answer their e-mails, and they don't teach everything..saying "oh you'll learn this when you do an externship".

Does anyone have input about Trinity. I'm so torn and supposed to be starting in Jan.!! What are the classes like? If you do the day classes, are you in class all day? Is there a lot of different times you can choose from? Also, what is the lowest grade you can get in a class to pass to the next one? Thank you!!
