PSW Program: How Do You Choose the Right School?​

To all aspiring, current, and graduated PSW students: What drives or holds you back from enrolling?

1. What factors influenced your choice of college for a PSW program?
2. If you considered enrolling but ultimately decided not to, could you share the reasons?
3. Among the colleges you considered, which three (3) stood out the most, and why?
4. Which college(s) were you least interested in and what made you rule them out from your choices?

Thank you for sharing your experiences!

Focus on accreditation, clinical placement quality, and job outcomes, not just tuition.

I would check if the school is recognized, how many clinical hours are included, and where placements are done. Strong hospital or long term care partnerships matter.

I would avoid colleges with high fees, poor reviews, or unclear placement support.

Most people enroll for job stability. What holds them back is low starting pay and physically demanding work.
