uvm is a great school with a very good nursing program. Many of the nurses at Yale-new Haven are UVM grads. URI is also a good program but I heard that it is now a suitcase school. I also question the hospital for the clinicals. Not many great teaching hospitals in the area. Northeastern is by far the choice for practical experience. They place students in Mass General, Brigham and Womans and Schriners. All of which are great places to learn. Boston is a great college town and unlike BU they are in the city but they have tried to create a “campus” feel by creating many quad areas. All hospitals are easily within reach of the “T” (subway on and underground). The cost of Northeastern is crazy high and the cost of living on and off campus is as well. I don’t remember what they said about the mid-year (it is a five-year program with Co-ops in the middle year) whether you pay tuition during that time. This program is highly respected in the Northeast. Not sure if you’d have the same name recognition throughout the rest of the country.
