<p>ok so I want to get my major in physical therapy which is 6 years of college. i like to party, like warm weather and dont want to take out too much in loans.</p>
<p>BU offered me about 32,000 in subsidized loans and scholarships (for the first 4 years). so the price would be about 21,000 a year. This school is the most pretigious, but I dont know how living in a city would be.</p>
<p>UCF offered me about 8,000 in scholarships (for the first 4 years), so the price would be about 22,000 a year. This school i adore but its the most expensive choice.</p>
<p>Stockton offered me about 15,000 in scholarships, and the price would only be 10,000 a year. This isnt my top choice, but its the best price.</p>
<p>I’m assuming your an out of state because UCF is so expensive for you. I could be wrong but thats what it seems like since its so expensive for you and you dont mention bright futures. BU is a great school but its all up to you. Personally I prefer going to a good school that doesnt break the bank for undergrad and then going to a well known school for graduate. Why spend so much money for a name when it doesn’t really matter for undergrad? I want to be debt free for the most part when I’m done with my BS and then comfortably apply for loans for my MS in engineering without worrying about debt piling on. Stockon doesn’t seem to be too bad of a choice, but its also up to you. Thats just my philosophy on money but I also believe that you should go to the school that feels right to you, no one else can decide that for you. good lucky!</p>
<p>thankss. yeah im from new jersey so its definitely more expensive. i was thinking of doing my undergraduate at stockton to save money and then transferring to one of the others for my graduate, but i know that can be tricky to do. =/</p>
<p>Did you get into BU’s PT program? That would be a consideration. PT programs (DPT/6 yr) are ridiculously difficult to get into and UCF does not have one. At UCF you would either do a 4 yr degree in Health Sciences and then apply to graduate 6 yr PT program’s elsewhere OR you would transfer after 2 years (and get and AA). If you are already accepted into BU’s 6 yr. PT program I would definitely go for it!!!</p>
<p>yeah i got into Stocktons DPT program and Boston’s DPT program. For UCF they have no accelrated 6 year program, so its 4 years undergraduate in like some health sciences major, and then 3 graduate years at the school in physical therapy. Thanks =]</p>
<p>I am an alumni of BU. I loved living in Boston. I am not a city lover in general but for college it was a blast. The ease of the T (public transportation system) and availability of infinite things to do coupled with the average age in Boston being 25 during the school year made for a fantastic college experience. I would choose BU if I were you since you are already in the PT program. That is, if you can handle the rough and LONG winters. </p>
<p>There is no guarantee that you would get into a PT program later. It has become that difficult and competitive.</p>
<p>Not sure if you’ve considered but… I believe USF has an accelerated PT Program in 7 years.</p>

<p>Sounds like BU, would definately pick a school that is more tailored to your degree. I also think Boston would have a lot to offer in work study than southern New Jersey.</p>
