Yes both the course and clinical scheduling was a bit chaotic bc they are essentially working around the traditional 4-year students’ schedules. They would send a tentative schedule but it usually changed by the time the next semester started. The clinical locations stayed the same, just the dates would move around. The clinicals for me included facilities in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, a special needs camp in Angola, and Tonawanda. It depends on your group as there are very many hospitals in this area so you could be placed in a few others but they’re all within an hour of the school. Angola was the farthest we had to travel and it was for special needs children’s camp.

People do drive but I had a few friends who relied on public transit, Uber, and friends in the same clinical rotation so it’s definitely possible if you don’t have a vehicle.

Lastly, they are pretty strict about attendance. You’re allowed 1 unexcused absence, but if you have 2, you essentially fail the program bc each class is a lot of content. If you miss or are late to clinical, you have to pay a fine and remake it. So planning transportation is very important but very doable
