Both of these are good schools. When I was looking to go (over 20 yrs ago) both of these were labeled by the chiropractic profession as "medical friendly" or "medical oriented" in their education approach. Because I didn't take enough time or have anyone explain exactly what chiropractic was (is), the ? should have been asked, "and the rest of your schools are not?" Since I am from the southeast I ended up going to Texas in Houston (you can read about what kind of school TCC is on their webpage). It is a good solid chiropractic school. National changed their name to be in tune with the direction they have decided to go as an institution, which is not chiropractic alone but also massage. I know nothing or have heard nothing about any money problems. Chiropractic as a way of living (career) is difficult due to forces inside and outside of the profession. I can elaborate if you care to know.
