I am hoping to get feedback about school choices. There is a wide range of tuition costs so knowing what schools have good programs or how to find that information (because they all speak very highly of themselves!) would be appreciated. Loans will be inevitable for me so I want to make sure I am making a good decision before going into debt!

Was anyone able to maintain a full-time job while in school?

Also, what is the best way to get volunteer hours or time shadowing a pt? I have no problem strolling in and asking at a clinic but thought maybe people might have some insight into this.

Lastly, if there were any base classes they wish they had taken (I need to spend the next year taking some classes I didn't take when I got my first degree that was for an unrelated field).

Overall I am looking for advice in moving forward. I have been considering this for about a year and it is time to make a move or move on!
