Going to a big/well known school vs a small/not as prestigious school

I have not heard of the University of Findlay, so I had to look it up. It is accredited by the American Occupational Therapy Association, so it must meet certain standards. I would not discount the school just because it is not as well known- this does not always matter depending on the field. I would look at the internships that are available and I would ask where their graduates find employment. Would you be taking a licensing exam? If yes, I would ask what percentage of students do well.

Sometimes schools that are not as well known have stronger programs in education and health care than schools that are very well known. I am not saying that this is the case, but it is something that should be investigated before totally discounting the program.

The University of New Hampshire is a better known school (at least around here), but that does not mean it has a stronger OT program. There are too many unknowns right now.

Wisconsin is an outstanding school with a lot to offer, but it does not appear to have a 6 year OT program (maybe I am wrong?). How difficult is it to get into grad school? Some fields are super competitive to get into, which would make a BS-MSOT program very attractive. A family friend is an OT and her daughter is interested in the field. She is only applying to direct entry BS-MS programs.
