Thanks for this video! I’m currently debating attending either Samuel Merritt or West Coast in LA. I really really like SMU’s program but it’s more expensive and I would have free housing if I were to attend West Coast. In your opinion, would you recommend I go with the cheaper option, despite me favoring SMU’s program?
Hey! It really is your decision! I recommend creating a list of items that you prioritize in your future PT experience and seeing how well each schools program values are similar to your own and what the cost vs resources you will have available to you in each location. Thanks for watching!
@@AspectAman thanks so much for your response! That is exactly what I’ve done and SMU edges out the other school, in terms of that. However, in your opinion as an SMU student, would the extra 40-60k+ in loans be worth the SMU program? Or would it not be and should I just worry about getting my DPT wherever I can because loans are already so much as it is? I really appreciate all the help!
@@blas4976 My daughter followed the savings rout for UC and she regrets it. Go to the place you will have the best resources. Good school, happy professors, cheap schools, not so happy professors which equals not a great learning environment.
Here! Pre Pt! I’m moving to live with my boyfriend & go to pt school. I’m sad about the student loans tbh. Dance is my undergrad and I’m becoming a certified yoga teacher, I know working during pt school is hard but I have to do something
Sounds like a great plan! You can certainly teach yoga classes on weekends or evenings, especially virtual ones since that may be even easier while you're also busy with PT school!
@@AspectAman My daughter also wants to be hands on, she is currently at UCM and is considering her path as a nurse practitioner/ physician's assistant. Nursing tends to pay more but it also has its drawback.
Very helpful. Thank you.

then why ever did you go into a field that you spend too much on and going to take decades to buy back?
Fair point, I was in it for the direct patient care to help people become more independent, was not thinking about the money it takes to get there!
