Why I Recommend Going to Downstate Reason # 1

12 months into the program I started asking classmates the following question: if they could go back in time, and do everything all over, would they still have chosen Downstate?  
The answer I kept hearing was yes.  It wasn't a happy yes.  It wasn't a smiling yes.  Most of them thought it over for a second or two before they gave an answer.  But I kept hearing yes. 

The only no I heard thus far was from someone who realized that nursing itself wasn't really for them and they would have studied something different.
