Ran towards the temple again but turned earlier. 7:35 average

I might transfer to BYU-I. It’s either 2 more years at SUU for a bachelors in Exercise Science, 2.5 years at BYU-I for a bachelors in Exercise Physiology, or 3.5 years at BYU-I for an applied associates in PTA. I’m wanting to become a Physical Therapist Assistant, but my backup is a bachelors if I don’t get accepted into the program (only 30 people selected a year to enter the program). Gotta cover all my bases. 

I just have to decide if I want to stay at SUU or transfer. If I transfer it has to be now because of classes that can only be taken at BYU-I to count towards your degree, and because you’re only allowed to take so many credits to still be eligible for the program. What it comes down to is if I’m up for the rigorous work required for PTA and willing to take out $30,000 of student loans OR get a bachelors with $3,000 in student loans... once I figure all that out I’ll know if I’m staying at SUU and still running collegiately or transferring to BYU-I. If I transfer I’ll still run for fun, but I’ll be leaving behind the competitive environment of the NCAA.

Wow. Sounds like a big decision.
