Question: Community College for Nursing or a University?I am planning on attending college next fall (2009-2010). I have many choices either to attend a community college and receive a 2 year associates(ADN) at Delaware County Community College....or a 4 year(BSN) at a University such as West Chester, Penn State, or Widener. But these schools are too pricey for me and I do not want to get a huge debt after college. Every nurse in the area says Delaware County has a very strong nursing program- one of the best in Pennsylvannia. I have also heard that ADN's get paid just the same as BSN's do? Should I stick with the 2,000 a year education vs. the 10,000? My school frowns upon community college as being the bad thing, but am i just getting a (maybe)BETTER education for 1/4 of the money? Please help =)17 months ago
Best AnswerI had the same dilemma as you when I was deciding between going to a university or to a community/junior college. I know that people usually look upon community colleges as lower/bad education but it's not. Some of the professors as CCs actually teach the same curriculum at a university. Also, if you are looking to eventually go on to a four year college, the associates doesn't even really matter considering that now n' days, everyone needs a bachelors or above. I would say that you should go to a CC. From experience, it's cheaper and it's not true about getting not the same education. At times, it's sometimes even better considering that students are more driven because they want the bang for the buck. Besides, if people say that it's a good and strong nursing program, I say go for it! It wouldn't hurt to save a little money, now would it? :) |
