Deal breaker for me. A school that does not have a hospital in close proximity to the college campus (daughter has a serious and potentially life threatening health issues), a specialist in her disease that is not nearby would also be a deal breaker. Of course cost since we have unpredictable medical expenses which is why we really pushed for scholarships at each school she applied too. For our daughter, the deal breaker was not having a direct admit for freshman nursing majors, an opportunity to live and work on campus was a must for her. She wanted to go to school away from home but close enough that she can come home on long weekends or school breaks since many of her friends are choosing to go to a local college such as UCF or Seminole State. We found a great compromise as she accepted an offer to attend FAU’s College of Nursing Direct Admit Program. FAU is a 3 hour drive from home, an hour drive from a great hospital in Miami plus there is a hospital across the street from the FAU campus.
