Many students at naturopathic schools do not hail from \"siberian northern cities\". We relocate as one would for any professional school. Don\'t get me wrong I\'m not hyping the 4-yr schools (I\'ve been pretty dissapointed myself). I\'m just saying that if you want to study something, you need to go to where it\'s taught.
Also, there is a school in AZ (which I hear is better than either of the Northwest schools) and an upstart school right there in your cradle of civilization and high culture, Florida.
