Which college for nursing in FL: UNF OR UCF?

UNF’s requirement seems unnecessarily money-grubbing. I’ve always wondered if those studies that show that living on campus is tied to all these better outcomes are adjusting for socioeconomic status/family income, because it seems to me that students who live on campus are more likely to be the ones from wealthier families - so of course they do better. They usually don’t have to work to support themselves and can focus fully on school.

Anyway, it also says

The university will also consider requests for exemptions under extraordinary or special circumstances which would create a significant personal hardship and which cannot be remedied by other means. In these cases, the student must complete the online mandatory housing exemption form, providing the reason for the requested exemption and all appropriate supporting documentation.

So there’s that to try.

Direct admit nursing programs are nice, but frankly the majority of nursing programs are not direct admit. That’s because there’s a nursing faculty shortage and nursing programs are also expensive, and most universities need to manage the number of students who participate in the nursing program somehow.

It looks like Florida Atlantic University has a direct admit BSN program, but the deadlines for this year are passed (last one was February 15). Otherwise I think all the other public nursing programs in Florida are 2+2 programs.
