PA School Dilemma

So, we have a slight dilemma regarding PA school. Yesterday, Mr. Tigger got accepted to the other school that he interviewed at out in Delaware. And, they gave him a scholarship right off the bat. The dilemma is that Tigger really likes the Virginia school a lot better. So, I decided that maybe we'd get some input from some outsiders. Here are the Pros and Cons:

Virginia (Pros)

• The students actually said they like going to school and that they were enjoying themselves.
• It has a 98% first time pass-rate on the PANCE (The big PA test).
• Tigger likes the area better.
• Tigger likes the faculty better (they are more relaxed, easier to get along with, plus they are very well respected).
• They will probably let Mr. Tigger do some of his clinicals out in Utah, which would mean we could move back sooner.

Virginia (Cons)

• It's more expensive.
• It goes longer (27 months to 24).
• It ends later (December vs May).

Delaware (Pros)

• With the scholarship, it would be about $10,000 cheaper.
• It starts in May and ends in May so Tigger would be done sooner (Virginia goes from August to December).
• It's shorter (only 24 months compared to 27)

Delaware (Cons)

• The students say that school is all that they do. They constantly complained about how hard it is. They say that all they ever do is study.
• The faculty are more uptight.
• The school is located in an office building (not a school or a hospital).
• They won't let Tigger do any of his clinicals in Utah.
• Tigger doesn't like the area as much.
• They have a lower first time pass-rate on the PANCE (96.8% vs 98%).

So, that's pretty much the gist. I just thought I'd put it out here so that we could get a little outside perspective on it. So, tell us what you think.
