I'm definitely having a similar dilemma. I've been accepted to one school where the tuitition fo 2.5 years would be just around $100,000, and then another where, with an assistantship, I would pay just over $20,000 for 3 years (I need to do a leveling year). The thing thats holding me back is that the cheaper program is very small, very rural and not terribly well respected or ranked. Would it make a huge difference for clinical placements and job opportunities after graduation to go to a place like this?
