Answer 2

There should not be an on-line program. This is a line of work that requires A LOT of clinicals. Sooo, I would pack my bags and get ready to go to school. I don't believe there is an age limit for school housing, if you are a full-time student.

Answer 3

We have a really good program at McNeese State University (lake charles, La.). We have all new dorms, some for married and unmarried, thanks to the hurricane. You could check it out on their website below. Good luck
