I can’t speak to the nursing part but as for the rest:

NEU: People who post regularly on social media are not likely to be representative of the student body as a whole. That’s where you’d expect the bubbly extroverts to congregate.

CWRU: There is plenty to do near Case (museums, music, etc) and there is an active student dance group - the Mather Dance Collective on campus. It will be at least as cold as Boston there and probably less cold than NJ.

SF: Having been accepted into the Honors Program, I think your chances of being among the 88% who pass are pretty good

NJ: It’s really not that cold there. Certainly not as cold as Boston. Are you sure about clinicals in Newark? With the Robert Wood Johnson center in NB, I’d think there would be opportunities there. NB and Newark are about 30 minutes away by car, assuming reasonable traffic conditions. There is also train service - not sure how long it takes, might be worth looking into.

Given overall academic reputation, price, and ease of access to top medical centers, I’d lean towards CWRU. Congrats on having secured so many excellent options!

p.s. type “Case vs” and “nursing” into the search box on this forum and you will get many, many threads from other students comparing the merits of various nursing programs, including many with substantial overlap to your final 4.
