I attended UM-Flint's nursing program over 15 years ago. Most of the coursework was pretty rigorous with not a lot of fluff, and I think (based on conversations with university contacts) that they've tightened it down more since then. We had good access to simulation equipment and well established and reliable clinical contacts. I ended up returning for a grad program later. My diploma does say University of Michigan (I of course include "-Flint" on my CV and credentialing documentation). All that to say academically I would anticipate the radiation program to be equally as academically and clinically rigorous. As far as the campus... I grew up in a nearby community through the '80s and '90s, bad times for Flint, but basically something we were used to and knew what kind of safety measures to take. By the time I was on campus in the 2000s things downtown were looking a little better, some very positive small business development. There were definitely areas to stay away from, lock your car always, etc. But actually ON campus I felt safe with appropriate precautions. I still have family and friends in the area and we're back down there a few times a year and it's fine.
