200k debt seems like a lot of money. I am doing pharmacy and I got the deans scholarship and I wont be paying anywhere close to 200k.
Regardless, 200k for a career/profession that is very stable and always with a good outlook is well worth it in my opinion. A retail pharmacist will earn 100k+ per year plus a lot of benefits, and they have very stable jobs. Healthcare is one of the most stable fields. As long as humans exist, healthcare services will be in demand. And also, the co-op program will allow you to build an impressive resume by the time you graduate from NEU. This will give you a huge advantage if you want to enter the pharma industry, start residency or do a fellowship.
