You should look into US News & World Report's rankings of colleges, and also professional schools, which I believe includes nursing programs. That said, my gut reaction is that GMU is the best school of that bunch overall. But overall might not be what's important to you. I always tell students and parents who ask about my university that the tough job is figuring out which of the schools is best for ***you.*** The truth is that you can get a great education at any of these schools. I know people personally at three of them, and I'm confident that they do good work and care about their students' progress. So if you can... I suggest you visit each of the schools before you decide. If possible, call the Admissions Office and ask if they can set up a few meetings for you to meet faculty members in your major as well as students. Also, if there are classes going on... see if they'll let you sit in. Good luck with the decision! They're all good schools, so I don't think you can go wrong. Congratulations on having choices!!!
