Please help me decide btwn Umich and USFCA for nursing
Context: From Oregon, queer man, going into nursing, want a very progressive area but also want a place that will help me land an ICU job and eventually get into CRNA school...
UMICH
Pro
- Generally like the vibe of the place
- Seems pretty queer friendly not as much as SF though? also idk how many alt ppl are there
- The admitted students day emphasized u can do research/intership or get a minor--may be good for resume
- Higher ranked (#6, USF is #22)
Con
- Very cold, snows
- Not sure if I would land an ICU job, UMich isnt as good for nurses
- I might want to live in CA/west later in life...
USFCA
Pro
- Very queer friendly
- Made a couple connections through IG - theres alot of ppl there i can relate to and vibe with
- CA is a greatt place for nurses (unions etc) if i get a job in CA (may be more likely to get in than applying from outside state)
Con
- Close to home, kind of want to get out a little
- Might be “toxic”? Heard this nursing program can be
- California is very competitive so I might have to move out of state for ICU job
- Not as prestigious or highly ranked–may affect job search?
