<p>just some thoughts, since you’re in a great position, and it’s a winwinwin scenario, if your cost is equivalent–and be sure you have in writing a guarantee that affordability (Villanova, and to a lesser extent, generous CWRU) is there after year one. Villanova is so beautiful in a homogenous way, near Philadelphia and a great undergraduate nursing experience. But not so sure about their Grad Nursing. Case is in a thriving Medical corridor that is next to a gritty neighborhood, and offers the most floor hours at the earliest stage in your undergrad, and really has a varied student body, and incredibly interesting architecture–really impressive–but a less cohesive rah rah spirit. Villanova has a more intimate feel, school spirit and that private Catholic exclusivity in the air; I just think Pitt offers the best combination of proximity to Hospitals, affordability in town, matriculation into a better Grad School, safety, and a real-world urban vibe. It’s a happier school than Case, and more realworld than Villanova. So 1 vote for Pitt.</p>
