<p>So, I need to choose my college by May 1st....aka 8 days away. </p>
<p>I live in Danbury...Western Con State Uni. offered my a full merit scholarship. They have one of the best nursing programs in the state w/ 100 percent nclex pass rate. Spaces are limited and I would have to apply at the end of my freshman year for the nursing program ( I was admitted into pre-nursing) . The problem is, I would be living at home...with no real college experience, since it's only 10 mins away. I know for a fact I wouldn't meet as many people because I would be commuting. The Danbury population does not reflect the type of people I want to be around for the next four years. I would be able to play div. 3 swimming or volleyball.</p>
<p>UConn is only 1.5 hours away, which is a good distance. I was admitted to the nursing program, which means I won't have to re apply like most schools for nursing. This is a relief. The program is pretty good too. UConn seemed like a school with many opprotunities and much to do on campus. It's close enough, but still a little ways from home. I think I would feel more comfortable in state. School spirit is on point. </p>
<p>I visited UDel on their Blue and Gold day, which was in October during the hail/snow storm. I liked the campus, even though we had a bad experience with the weather. From what I read, most people love the campus. Their nursing program is also pretty good, but not as good as my other two schools. Del. offers a main street and a college town, which is something UCONN doesn't have. This school is located 3.5 hours away, and the weather is warmer. </p>
<p>Money is not an issue. </p>
<p>Can anyone offer any input?</p>
