In my hometown, I got brochures and info from high school. Online application to fill out. There was a $60 application fee for prospective students too. It can take 3-6 weeks for a denial/acceptance letter. I applied to 2 colleges including the current one. They were both in my home town, one university and one community. Chose because it's Close to home.
Exams :
Opt-in because it is state-recognized. Nursing is competitive because of the size of the facilities. Credits have to be 60 to apply to the program with a 3.00 GPA or higher. To get in the university itself, ACT is 15 or higher; SAT above 1000 maybe. I don't know the requirements for other tests because that's for grad level programs.
Internship :
Internship opportunities depend on the major one is pursing. There are different departments a student can talk to regarding an internship. With jobs, we have an online program/job board that students can look at and easily apply to or we have career services and they will help too
Fees :
Instate can be about $5000 or less. Out-state can go up to $15000 (might be including or excluding room and board.) loans are available depending on one's FAFSA form for the school year. Financial aid is reviewed on an individual basis and aid is determined by that. Pell grant, millennium (instate scholarship) are both common ones and depends on the number of credits a student is taking. 12 credits equal full-time status.
Faculty :
Lot more students than teachers. Lots of lectures and room for teachers and it's hard work for them. We got graduate assistants who are serving as faculty members to help teach intro courses like eng 101.
Hostel :
Live off-campus. The university is a commuting school so people come and go for their classes. It does depend on the type of student, whether they like dealing with traffic or living far away from home. I heard on campus, you are required to pay for dining with your room but not so sure
