<p>Hey thinlizzy,</p>
<p>I’m a current freshman at U of M’s School of Nursing and would be happy to answer any questions you may have about the program.</p>
<p>As for my experience applying to nursing school, I really didn’t know much about the differences in programs until I started looking into them. The major thing that influenced my decision was that UMich is direct admit. With that being said, I do have a lot of friends that are going the 2-2 rate, but for me it was just too risky. Also, one of the perks of being in the program already is that I’m in all my classes with the same group of people (there’s 120 of us) and I’ve managed to make some great friends. Also, we’re not competing against each other to get into the program so that really lowers the stress level. </p>
<p>Additionally, U of M has an amazing hospital and I really liked the idea that I would be super close to a hospital (it’s literally behind my dorm building!) and wouldn’t have far to go to clinicals. Also, the School of Nursing itself is super cool and the advisors and teachers are amazing so far. (As you can see I love my program =))</p>
<p>Good luck with your searching! And again feel free to ask any questions you may have!</p>
